Resisting Arrest in DeSoto County, Mississippi
In Mississippi, resisting arrest is when a person obstructs a police officer’s arrest by force, violence, or threats. While this may seem simple enough, resisting arrest cases in DeSoto County can be complex, and you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately.
The trouble with charges for resisting arrest is that they typically come with additional charges, whether it’s disorderly conduct, possession of marijuana, DUI, or more. Imagine if you were at Snowden Grove Park for a baseball game and were being loud with your friends. An officer comes over and asks for you to quiet down. When your home team hits a home run and you get rowdy again, the officer comes back to discuss the situation again. If you talk back or retaliate in any way, you may be involved in a disorderly conduct/resisting arrest case.
Being arrested can be a scary, life-changing event. Once you are arrested, your name and fingerprints are in the system, your record may be tainted, and penalties are strict. You may face fines or imprisonment for up to six months, which many people are not financially or emotionally ready to handle.

Wesley Hisaw has represented me with my post divorce modification as well as a faultless MVA case. Divorce is never easy, but mine was exceptionally complicated and sensitive in nature. I was let down by my previous attorney and my trust in legal representation was broken. After my first consult with him, I walked out of his office with confidence in my case. I felt I was exactly where I needed to be and genuinely trusted he would help me, which he did! He is worth every penny and highly recommend! He has ALWAYS been there when I needed his legal guidance and support, extremely responsive and his assurance has never failed me!
