What to do if my husband is being charged with prohibited persons in possession of a firearm and aggravated DUI?

He was found on private property riding his ATV intoxicated. He also had a pistol holster on his belt, but no gun in the holster. The people who called in the complaint were also on scene and walking around and found a pistol in the weeds, and the officers on scene recovered the weapon and charged my husband with possession. They also got a statement from a women that said my husband shot a treestump prior to the police arrival. I want to know if all of this is legit. Please I feel like my husband is being targeted by the arresting officer because of personal issues.
