When a run-in with the police escalates into a situation in which a person is placed under arrest, that person may respond to the stress of the moment by engaging in actions and making statements that could later be used against him or her in court. If you or someone you know is facing charges of resisting arrest or making false statements to a law enforcement officer, the criminal defense attorneys at America's Criminal Defense Group can help. Our lawyers will work to build a strategy that will ensure the most favorable outcome possible should the case go to trial.
Resisting arrest involves the use of physical force to prevent a police officer from performing his or her duties when placing a person under arrest. Acts of resistance can include struggling with an officer to inhibit his or her use of handcuffs, fighting to dodge being put in a police car, or trying to avoid being placed in a holding cell. Because it entails using force against an officer, resisting arrest can be charged as assault and battery.
One possible defense to charges of resisting arrest is the use of excessive force by the officer. The experienced criminal defense lawyers at America's Criminal Defense Group are dedicated to the presumption of innocence and will fight to defend your rights if you or someone you love has been charged with resisting arrest.
