On February 7, 2019, client voluntarily admitted to hospital for Baker Act. Client wanted to smoke cigarette and not wear a gown. Security said that you must wear a gown. Client charged and punched guard in the face. Arrested February 6, 2023, and there’s a three-year statute of limitations, but client lived out-of-state for three years, so statute of limitations hadn’t run. Client didn’t want to have a trial, so pled to ag + 24 months probation “battery on medical personnel” early term after 12 months 50 hours community service (may buy out 1/2 at $10/hr), drug eval and any recommended treatment, $100 cost of pros, $152.88 to Rockledge Police Department. Attorney required amendment to charge from “battery on law enforcement” for the plea because the security guard wasn’t a law enforcement officer!
