In a recent incident in Florida, a 15-year-old from Huntsville, Alabama, found himself in legal trouble after an altercation with law enforcement officers.
The teen was arrested for several charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer, underage drinking, resisting arrest with violence, obstruction with violence, and possession of alcohol by a minor.
The arrest occurred in Walton County, Florida, where deputies were conducting crowd control efforts due to a large gathering of juveniles near Nightcap Street and a beach access point.
According to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, deputies approached the 15-year-old after observing him drinking a Michelob Ultra, which is illegal for someone of his age.
However, instead of complying with law enforcement, the teen resisted arrest. In the process, he allegedly struck one deputy in the side of the head and another in the face with his handcuffed arm.
Despite efforts by deputies to restrain him, the teen continued to resist, even managing to slip out of his handcuffs while being escorted to a patrol car.
During this struggle, he reportedly swung his right arm across one deputy’s face, hitting them in the nose with the handcuffs. This escalated the situation further and led to additional charges being filed against the minor.
