What would be the less shameful reason why you would have to be detained overnight?
Least shameful would probably be drunk tank. Anyone who drinks has overdone it at some point, some people were just unlucky and happened to be noticed by an officer
Just fucking own it and do better. Downplaying it means not only do people still think badly of you, but now they know you also don’t take responsibility for your own actions and instead lie about them.
You also don’t have to be specific about what happened, only that you are actively improving yourself and what steps you are taking to do so.
Edit: You are taking steps to actively improve yourself, right?
Why does this feel like Leia asking Anakin?
Agreed. If it really is for a stupid reason like OP said, then this feels like a simple “I was an idiot, got caught, and ended up having a rude (but necessary) awakening. Thankfully that’s all it was, and now I know not to do it again. It’s time for some changes.”
Most honorable != Least shameful
You can see here that I’m torn apart by doubts!
