5:42Now PlayingThe Georgia Supreme Court has ruled that if police perform an unlawful arrest, the person being arrested can essentially fight back.
The ruling stems from an Athens man named Christopher Glenn, who was unlawfully arrested in 2018.
Police arrested Glenn while he was walking home because they received a call someone was loitering. Glenn wasn't. When officers attempted to arrest him, Glenn head-butted one and got on top of another.
His case made it to the Supreme Court, where based on English laws from the 1700s, the judges ruled Glenn was within his rights to fight back because he was unlawfully detained. The ruling could have a significant impact on how unlawful arrest cases are defended in Georgia.
