Multiple Assault and Assault on Government Official Charges Dismissed

During a verbal argument with his partner, a man somehow struck his head and passed out. His partner called emergency services and the police responded. Once he came to, the man refused medical attention and became agitated. Eventually, he became so incensed that he threw something out of the window in the direction of the police, who were in his yard. This resulted in the police storming into his home, subduing him, taking him to the hospital, and charging him with multiple counts of assault, including assault on government officials and resisting arrest. With each misdemeanor charge exposing him to possible jail time, the man contacted our Charlotte criminal attorneys.

We appeared on his behalf during several court hearings and began negotiating with the prosecutors. It became evident that the prosecutor wanted to move forward, despite our efforts to explain things to all those involved. However, when the prosecutor asked for additional time to prepare their case, we motioned against their request. The judge agreed with our argument and with their application denied, the prosecutor opted to dismiss the case and our client was excused.
