Resisting Arrest, Criminal Damaging, and Disorderly Conduct While Intoxicated

Client was charged with three violations under the Ohio Revised Code (O.R.C.), which if convicted, could have been sentenced to a total of 210 days incarceration and a fine of $1750.00.  The client was charged with the following charges:

O.R.C. 2921.33 - Resisting Arrest, a misdemeanor of the second degree, which carries a possible penalty of 90 days incarceration and a $750.00 fine;

O.R.C. 2909.06 - Criminal Damaging, a misdemeanor of the second degree, which carries a possible penalty of 90 days incarceration and a $750.00 fine; and

O.R.C. 2917.11 - Disorderly Conduct while Intoxicated, a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, which carries a possible penalty of 30 days incarceration and a $250.00 fine. 

Upon reviewing the facts and conducting a thorough investigation by interviewing all of the witnesses involved in the case, Attorney Zachuary Meranda was able to work out a plea deal in which the Resisting Arrest and Criminal Damaging charges were dismissed in their entirety.  Additionally,  Mr. Meranda was able to have the Disorderly Conduct while Intoxicated charge amended to exclude the "Intoxication" portion of the charge so that this charge would not affect the client's future endeavors at becoming a nurse.
