Help advice needed

[Mux03o]

About week ago I went to meet my partner in a pub who suffers from
Endured psychosis
Severe PTSD
Disassociative amnesia
Personality disorder
And they the basic
Social anxiety
In my opinion should not be drinking at all , after drinking for a few hours we started walking home around 12:30 on the way my partner had a ptsd episode involving her running in front of moving cars etc and generally put her self in serious danger , as I was trying to get her home and walk her home safely the police arrived and assumed we was having a domestic I explained to the officer what the situation was however the officer was having none of it without doing any checks he said I had to make my own way home and he would take my partner home , he then instructed me to go to my car to get my partners belonging this I did under his supervision, after doing so I started walking to the local taxi rank I realised somehow my house key had fallen of my bunch of keys when getting my partners belonging from the car , so I walked back to my car turned on the lights to search for my house key , as I was walking away from the car the same officer appeared and arrested me for drunk in charge , the breatherlyzer reading was 53mg at 1:35 am at the station the breatherlyzer wasn't working so I had to do a blood test at 3:10 am I am still waiting on the results for this ,
The car was on a pub car park the pub was closed wen I returned
Am really worried and losing sleep over this as anyone any advice or any idea what the outcome of this maybe
Thanks in advance

If you were convicted of being in charge of a vehicle with excess alcohol on a breath reading of 53 then sentencing guidelines suggest a fine and the imposition of 10 penalty points. However it will be the blood test results that will be used if you were ultimately charged.

There is however a statutory defence to this offence if you are indeed charged at a later date and that is that if you can prove on the balance of probabilities that there was no likelihood of you driving the vehicle whilst the proportion of alcohol in your breath, blood or urine remained likely to exceed the prescribed limit.

This means that if you can prove you had no intention of driving the car whilst over the limit, you are not guilty of being drunk in charge.
