Felony Dropped – 7/13/2021
Orange County, FL
While getting kicked out of a bar, our client was caught on body-worn camera, challenging law enforcement officers’ authority and physically resisting them while shouting general, but extremely serious, threats. By getting involved in the case early, Longwell Lawyers was able to convince prosecutors not to file felony charges but instead pursue only misdemeanors. After further litigation, and asserting a citizens’ right to resist unlawful shows of police authority prosecutors agreed to give our client credit for the single day he spent in jail and close the case.
