In a recent Indianapolis case, the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld that Hoosiers can lawfully walk away from police when officers lack probable cause or reasonable suspicion for criminal activity. The Court determined that police illegally arrested a woman for resisting law enforcement after she lawfully exercised her right to walk away. As a result, evidence gathered during the course of her arrest was ordered suppressed, including alleged spice and Ecstasy found during a pat down. If you've been arrested for possession of marijuana, Ecstasy, or other drugs in the Indianapolis, Franklin, or Shelbyville area, the criminal attorneys at Gibson Law Office can help.

Being falsely accused of a sex crime is typically one of the most stressful and devastating experiences of a person's life. Several years ago, our office represented an 18-year-old college freshman at Purdue University who was accused of rape. After a night of drinking and playing beer pong during Grand Prix weekend, neither he nor the alleged victim could remember what happened when they woke up together partially undressed. During depositions, it was revealed that there was no evidence that sex had occurred. After hearing the evidence at trial, a jury acquitted our client of all charges. Call Gibson Law Office at 855-9-GIBSON if you've been falsely accused of a sex crime in Indiana, including in Lafayette, Crawfordsville, Delphi, and Indianapolis.
