Assault on a Peace Officer

Police alleged that during an encounter in a bar restroom, our client struck an officer with a shoulder and caused injury. The accusation followed officers moving in after observing suspected contraband and attempting to detain the client. We obtained the reports and evidence, dissected the sequence of events, and emphasized that any contact was incidental, not intentional. We also challenged whether there was documented bodily injury sufficient to meet the statute. Facing these proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Harris County, 338th DC

Allegations

The client was confronted in a bar restroom after an officer reported seeing a handoff of a small bag to another person. The client tried to dispose of it in the toilet, but officers recovered a few grams of suspected contraband. We examined the police reports and evidence handling, scrutinizing the legality of the detention inside the restroom and how the substance was retrieved. Leveraging those concerns in negotiations, we secured deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.
