Recently, there was a farce at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. A woman made a fuss at the airport, spitting on the police, ** clothes, and peeing in public!
Lezlie Hernandez Zapata may never want to go to the Atlanta airport again in her life.
Last week, when Zapata took the shuttle bus to the tarmac to prepare for boarding, she was told that some of her actions had caused problems with her boarding pass and therefore could not board the plane (details are not yet known).
Zapata then made a fuss on the tarmac, and the airline members immediately called the police, and when the police began to escort Zapata from the tarmac to the terminal, she suddenly began to struggle violently, refusing to get into the police car and intending to escape.
She ran wildly along the airport tarmac as a police officer followed closely behind her, pushing her to the ground, grabbing her and putting her in a police car.
Zapata was taken all the way to the airport precinct by the police, and the emergency medical services immediately assessed her, which showed no visible signs of injuries in Zapata.
Allegedly in the airport precinct, Zapata spat on multiple officers, urinated on himself and took off most of his clothes.
Eventually, Zapata was taken to the Clayton County Jail with other clothing, where she now faces charges of disturbing the peace and obstructing law enforcement officers.
Law enforcement officers are there for the public, but sometimes people get in the way of their duties. When law enforcement officers are prevented from performing their official duties, Georgia considers it a crime of obstruction of justice. Obstruction of justice can be considered a felony or misdemeanor depending on the circumstances.
Misdemeanors: In Georgia, the penalty for misdemeanor conviction is a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment for up to one year, or both. It can also come with community service, anger management classes, or any other punishment allowed by the Georgia Misdemeanor Sentencing Code.
Felony: A person may be found guilty of obstruction of justice when he knowingly and knowingly resists, hinders, or opposes any law enforcement officer, prison guard, correctional officer, community watchdog, probation officer, or protective officer in the lawful performance of his or her official duties.
The difference between a misdemeanor and a felony is the element of providing or committing violence. The penalty for the felony of obstruction of justice is one to five years' imprisonment. In addition to the prison sentence, the defendant will pay a fine of at least $300. In addition, penalties may include community service and anger management classes.
In Georgia, a person can be charged with obstruction of justice in a variety of ways.
Some examples include:
Resisting arrest with or without the use of force
Obstructing the Investigation
Lie to **
Provide false or misleading information to **
Escape**
Threats**
Assault of a **
There are also some special cases, such as:
The crime of obstruction of justice is a common charge associated with drunk driving and drug possession cases. This is often caused by people providing false names, resisting arrest, or evading the police.
Another situation is if the police signal to pull over and do not pull over immediately.
If you don't obey or threaten the police, what started as a small traffic jam can quickly escalate. The situation can also become more serious if the officer believes that the person involved is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Sometimes, when people see police officers behind them, they try to destroy evidence by consuming the drugs in the car, but this is also seen as obstruction of justice.
