Common Arrests During The Holiday Season

The holidays are a special time of year associated with celebrations, happiness, and family gatherings.

Some particular criminal offenses tend to increase between Thanksgiving and New Years Day.

Domestic Violence 

Already tense family situations can increase with the stress of the holidays. Incidents of domestic violence may increase during the holidays and lead to individuals being arrested on charges of assault and battery. Sometimes, police officers arrest the wrong person involved in domestic disputes, and false allegations are also common in these situations. 

Alleged victims might also pursue a protective order against you based on domestic violence accusations, and you want to defend against this order as well as your criminal charges. Seek professional defense help for any domestic violence charges you may be facing. 

Theft Crimes 

Sometimes, individuals may resort to theft crimes to obtain gifts and presents during the holiday season. Shoplifting from retail stories, burglarizing houses, and embezzlement may all increase during the holidays. Employees may be accused of stealing from their employers during this time of year. Individuals often underestimate the severity of the charges associated with these crimes. 

If you are facing criminal theft charges, hiring a criminal defense attorney will enable you to minimize the consequences you face. 

DUI 

Individuals often celebrate the holidays with parties and other gatherings that involve drinking alcoholic beverages. Some people may try to drive home after having too many drinks, and law enforcement officers often set up sobriety checkpoints or use other increased enforcement tactics during the holiday season. Many drivers face arrests and charges for driving under the influence of alcohol during this season, some of which are wrongful arrests and charges. DUI convictions can have a major effect on your life, so you should always take them seriously. 

Our firm can scrutinize any field sobriety or breath tests that officers conducted during your DUI arrest, as well as other evidence against you, to build the strongest possible defense strategy.
