According to the police, they were investigating a separate battery case involving a number of people fighting in a restaurant, some of which were friends with the Defendant. In order to disburse the crowd, the police ordered several people, including the Defendant, to leave the area. The Defendant started to walk away, but then abruptly turned around and started approaching the police again. The police ordered him to the ground, but the Defendant resisted. As officers attempted to place him in handcuffs, the Defendant tensed his body and refused to comply. He was eventually arrested for Resisting Without Violence. The attorney for the firm prepared the case for trial. Prior to trial, the State dismissed all charges.
