JUVENILE BATTERY AND RESISTING ARREST
Charges Dropped -
11/12/2020
Orange County, FL – Before retaining our services, our client was
charged in Juvenile Court with Battery for allegedly being part of a group
of students who “jumped” another student. The client was then
also subsequently arrested for Resisting Without Violence, in a separate
incident. Since the client is an A/B student with no significant disciplinary
history, the client’s parents became concerned that the client was
being unfairly targeted by the school resource officer and contacted Longwell
Lawyers. Longwell Lawyers was able to quickly get the prosecutor to agree
not to file any charges for the Resisting allegation. Furthermore, after
reviewing all of the evidence and preparing for trial, Longwell Lawyers
was able to get the prosecutor to agree that the Battery charge could
not be proven at trial. As such, the State filed a Notice of Nolle Prosequi
(dropped the charge).
Battery on a Public Official and Disorderly Conduct
Case Dropped -
11/9/2020
Lake County, Florida -Our client was the long-time City Manager for a city
in Lake County, Florida. Despite his highly effective and successful tenure
as the City Manager, one of the City Council-members became upset with
him when he made cost cutting recommendations that would negatively impact
the job of the City Council-member’s spouse. After a City Council
meeting, our client was angrily confronted outside the building by the
Council-member and her spouse. The spouse became physically aggressive.
The Council-member realized that a by-stander was recording the incident,
prompting the Council-member to falsely claim that she had been struck
by our client and that her spouse was only protecting her. Unbelievably,
the Council-member and her spouse were able to coax the Police Chief (who
did not view the video) to arrest the City Manager for a felony charge
of Battery on a Public Official and a misdemeanor charge of Disorderly
Conduct. Longwell Lawyers was retained to represent the accused City Manager
in this highly contentious, publicized matter. After gathering and presenting
the case to the prosecutor (which included several sworn statements from
eyewitnesses and video footage of the incident), it became clear that
the accused City Manager did not commit any crime – and he was exonerated.
As such, all charges were dropped by the filing of a No Information Notice.
