Police then attempted to find the man a ride, which is when he decided to keep striking the truck. The man left the scene with another party, but police found him five minutes later crawling in the grass near the intersection of Juniper Inlet Road. He was immediately charged with disorderly intoxication.
The man was taken to the Jupiter Medical Center, which is when he started getting out of hand. A police officer restrained him, which is when he managed to elbow the officer in the midsection while telling him that he was going to kill him. The man was then arrested for charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. He was taken to jail after he was released from the hospital.
Jupiter Battery Charges
Across Florida, many people are arrested on battery charges every year. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor battery charge due to being under the influence, you could be facing as little as a first-degree misdemeanor, which can carry penalties of up to one year in jail or even a year of probation. You might have to pay hefty fines as well. It is important to get started on your case with the help of an experienced attorney because an attorney might be able to help you prove that your intoxication led to the events that unfolded, which might be able to help you bring in lesser charges as a result.If you have been accused of a battery crime and you believe that the incidents unfolded differently than they were reported and you are being treated unfairly in your case, you have many rights and protections under Florida law.
