Charged with being drunk in public
Criminal Defense
Long Beach Courthouse, February 2020
Our client was arrested and charged with being drunk in public in violation of Penal Code section 647(f), resisting a police officer in violation of Penal Code section 148, and battery on an officer in violation of Penal Code section 243(b). Using the discovery process, we acquired the body camera footage. Using the footage, we were able to show that our client never intended to assault the officers. Further, we were able to mitigate the circumstances surrounding her intoxication and charge of resisting. Thus, we were able to get our client diversion, with some community labor. Once diversion is complete, the case is dismissed.
