Punishment For Battery On A Police Officer, Wear A Sign Apologizing

A 24-year-old Alabama woman charged with battery on a law enforcement officer in Orlando entered into an unusual plea agreement. The woman accepted a deal to lesser charges of simple battery and resisting an officer without violence. In return she would wear a sign that said “I battered a police officer. I was wrong. I apologize”. Alexandra Espinosa-Amaya wore the sign for four hours outside the police station.

Espinosa-Amaya is a student at Jacksonville State University and she was at an Orlando bar when she got involved in an altercation with bouncers and then a police officer. The young woman pushed her palm into the face of the cop according to a story on Bradenton.com. On top of wearing the sign, Espinosa-Amaya was ordered t attend anger management, write an apology letter, perform community service and spend two years on probation.
