On Nov. 3, 2017, a man from Friendswood was charged with assault on a peace officer.
The 21-year old driver allegedly refused to provide his driver’s license or identity and drove away when a police officer initially conducted a traffic stop for failure to signal a turn at 3:12 p.m. that day in the 3800 blocks of Crofterglen Drive.
According to the police office, he immediately called for assistance, and within minutes the vehicle was found in a driveway in the 16000 blocks of Hibiscus Lane.
Further, reports say that the man was filming the arrest on his cell phone and yelling at officers as the officer placed him in the police vehicle.
The man was then arrested on a charge of interfering with the duties of a public servant.
Gutierrez Cruz allegedly threatened bodily harm to an officer at the jail, the report said.
This is just one of the many cases involving an assault. These types of criminal cases, if not properly defended by an assault lawyer, could lead to a more serious consequence rather than just bail or fine.
Assault conviction may lead to:
- Loss of custody of your children.
- Loss of your job
- Loss of housing or your lease.
- Penalties ranging from a fine of up to $500 – $10,000 and up to 2 – 20 years in prison, depending on whether the charge is classified as a misdemeanor or felony.
If you are an immigrant or a temporary citizen of the United States, you could be deported back to your home country.
Loss of the right to own or possess a firearm.
