Resisting Arrest Desoto County Mississippi

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.

Our experienced criminal defense lawyers at Stroud, Flechas & Dalton understand that being arrested can be overwhelming and that it may be instinctual to try to overrule the situation. During our process, we will uncover all of the evidence to determine if something went awry during your protest. Why were you charged in the first place? Did the officer follow protocol? What does the evidence support?
