Arrests
After bench trial, Defendant was convicted of escape. After being advised that he was under arrest, after altercation about getting water turned back on at a trailer, police officer grabbed Defendant, forcefully moved him to hood of squad car, and then reached for his handcuffs, when Defendant slipped away, and then ran away. Officer exercised sufficient amount of control over Defendant such that Defendant was lawfully restrained notwithstanding his resistance, and thus was in lawful custody at time of his escape.
