No Probable Cause for Felony Resisting Charge

Client was charged with Felony Resisting Arrest after allegedly fleeing police in a high speed chase. At the preliminary hearing, Attorney Brian Cooke thoroughly impeached the officer, forcing him to admit that his current testimony contradicted his police report. The judge found no probable cause that the defendant resisted in a way that created a “substantial risk of serious physical injury or death”, as required by the statute. As a result, the felony charge was dismissed.
