The accused was charged with assault and resisting arrest following a disturbance at a family courthouse.
After being told by a clerk that he would receive no further assistance, the accused refused repeated directions from court officers to leave the premises.
When an officer placed a hand on his shoulder to escort him out, the accused shoved the officer's hand away and subsequently engaged in a physical struggle with multiple officers while resisting arrest.
The court found the officers were authorized to enforce the Trespass to Property Act and did not use excessive force, resulting in findings of guilt for assault and resisting arrest.
