Charges of Resisting Arrest: Case Dismissed

Whenever alcohol is involved the potential for verbal and physical abuse can increase exponentially. If you are planning on indulging in a night of drinking or partying it is important that you exercise a certain level of discretion and tact as tempers can flare. A fun night out on the town may suddenly become a nightmare scenario with you facing charges. Such was the case with one of our recent clients. While a guest at a drinking establishment, our client was accused of getting into a physical altercation with a bouncer, and subsequently with the arresting officer. As a result, charges of resisting arrest were filled against the client.

Through careful review, a clear and concise defense strategy was developed by our skilled Round Rock criminal attorney from The Law Office of Ryan H. Deck. Had our client been convicted the penalties for the Class A misdemeanor offense, he would have faced up to 1 year in jail, fines up to $4000 and up to 2 years of community supervision. Through our tenacious defense, the charges were ultimately dismissed.
