Ohio
I was drinking at a bar one night, ans was very drunk. I got into a small altercation with a man. I hit the man once in his face. I was arrested and released the next morning. I was charged with 5 misdemeanors including simple assault.
A few weeks later I was indicted for felonious assault on a peace officer, A felony of the first degree.
Do I have any legal standing with these arguments?
-The man was an off duty officer not in his jurisdiction.
-He was drinking, so how can he be within his scope of duties as a police officer.
-He did not receive medical attention at the scene.
-I am underage and was being served alchohol all night at the bar.
-I only hit the man once.
-Only weeks later did he say that it caused a broken ear drum.
Can anyone tell me if any of this is relavant.
