Prosecutors charged our client with resisting an officer based on an incident at a BLM protest in Madison last year. Authorities were taking another protester into custody when our client allegedly attempted to intervene and remove a spit hood (which police had placed on him) from his fellow protester. As authorities attempted to stop our client from removing the spit hood and take him into custody, he fled from the scene. Police used video evidence to identify the client and arrested him on a later date. The client and his family were rightfully concerned about how the arrest and criminal prosecution would impact his future, including his college plans. Attorney Tim Verhoff negotiated a settlement with the prosecution. Our client performed community service, and the District Attorney's Office agreed to dismiss the case against him outright.
