If you are on probation or diversion, this new charge will affect the resisting case. Our firm represents those accused of criminal offenses in Lee County.

The maximum penalty is 6 months of probation or 60 days in jail and $500 fine. Your past criminal history with the resisting officer case will likely be a concern for prosecutors. I offer a free consultation and would be willing to handle your case in Ft. Myers.

I agree with the prior replies and would add that in order to properly assess your circumstances, we'd need to know: 1) what the status of your Resisting case is; 2) who your judges are on these cases; 3) what your prior record consists of; and 4) the facts of both cases. With that information, an attorney familiar with the judge and prosecutor handling the cases should be able to give you a fair assessment of what you're likely to receive should the State be able to prove these charges against you.
   
   Best of Luck!

Your possible sentence depends on a lot of factors, including but not limted to the judge on your case, past record, and facts of the case. You need to hire a local criminal defense attorney that is familiar with local judges and practices.
