Drove and hit a curb on the way home. A person driving saw the incident and called the police.  I had some alcohol and was driving home and hit a curb on the way. There was a person driving that saw what happened, so he followed me home and called the police. I got home safe and sound. 15 minutes later the cops showed up in my house and arrested me.

Did you have anything more to drink after you arrived home?  If so, that could complicate a drunken driving prosecution against you and give you an advantage.   Either way, be sure to have your lawyer look into that defense as well as any others that come to mind.   You don't say what your BAC was, but with the accident and citizen self-appointed cop who followed you home afterwards, it looks like there might otherwise be facing a strong prosecution case, with plenty of probable cause for the arrest.
