Our client was arrested and charged with a class A Misdemeanor-
Obstructing Firefighting Operations in Richmond County for allegedly
unreasonably obstructing a firefighter. He faced up to 1 year in jail.
Our client ran a pot-bellied stove in his home, where he lived
with an elderly aunt. When a neighbor mistakenly called the fire department to
the scene, our client tried to diffuse the situation in order to not alarm his
relative. He told the firefighters that nothing was on fire and that it
was just the smoke from the stove. A firefighter struck our client in the
head with a crowbar causing a large laceration , which required several stitches. He was then arrested and charged with Obstructing Firefighting
Operations. Through our hard work, the case against him was dismissed and
sealed – the best possible outcome for this most unfortunate
circumstance.
