Assault and Battery on a Police Officer
Disorderly Conduct
Client was a hard-working sales professional who was charged with Assaulting and Battering a Police Officer and Disorderly Conduct. According to the MBTA Police, the client mouthed off at them using profanities and thrust his shoulder into an officer, throwing him back several steps. Once able to recover, the officer attempted to grab hold of the defendant's arm, to which a brief struggle ensued. Profanities continued and the defendant was charged with the above crimes. After five separate trial dates, the defendant was finally placed on trial before a jury. The jury came to the conclusion that the defendant did not try to cause a disturbance and he did not assault and batter the police officer.
Result: ALL CHARGES NOT GUILTY.
