I don't know how you could possibly arrested for public intoxication if the PBT was taken in your home as opposed to in the public. That doesn't make much sense to me.

What state is this in?

Tennessee Public Intoxication Laws

In Tennessee, a person may be charged with public intoxication if he or she appears in public under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance to the degree that the intoxicated person:

• may be endangered
• presents a danger to other people or property, or
• unreasonably annoys people in the vicinity.

Public intoxication is a misdemeanor crime in Tennessee. (Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-10.)

In a public place

In general, Tennessee law defines a “public place” as one where the general public has a right of access. Interestingly, Tennessee courts consider a person who is sitting in a car on a public road to be publicly intoxicated if the person is a danger to self, others, property, or unreasonably annoying others in the vicinity.

A person who is staggering alone down a public alley could be arrested in Tennessee for public intoxication because the police could reasonably believe that the person’s intoxication presented a danger to himself due to the risk of falling.

I would not describe this is a public location. You should get a public defender or private attorney to challenge the charges.
