You say that the police "blamed" you but don't say anything about receiving a ticket. I suspect that there MAY be more to the incident than is being disclosed - HOWEVER - if the question actually states the facts, and IF YOU WERE TICKETED, you should take your witness and go to court and contest the ticket. You MUST actually produce the witness in court for verbal testimony because written statements are considered "hearsay" evidence and will not be admitted.
