FALSE IMPRISONMENT (F.S. 787.02(2))
CASE DISMISSED (NOLLE PROSEQUI)
Escambia County, FL
4 de septiembre de 2025
Client was charged with FALSE IMPRISONMENT (F.S. 787.02(2)) along with BATTERY—TOUCH OR STRIKE (F.S. 784.03(1)(A)1). These allegations are serious because they can expose a person to incarceration, strict pretrial conditions, and long-term reputational harm—especially where the State frames the facts as a coercive restraint.
We took a firm, no-nonsense approach: we challenged the State’s ability to prove the necessary legal elements, pressed inconsistencies, and communicated that we were fully prepared to litigate. The State ultimately filed a NOLLE PROSEQUI, closing the case and avoiding the risk of a conviction and the maximum statutory exposure. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes; each case depends on its facts and circumstances.
