An Antelope Valley resident, Marco Chiclana, has been convicted of four felonies and two misdemeanors in reference to a struggle between himself and deputies. He filed a lawsuit against the deputies involved, claiming they had unjustly beaten him outside the local hospital. Two of the felony counts were battery on a peace officer and two were for resisting an executive officer. The misdemeanor counts were for battery and resistance. His conviction of the misdemeanors relieved him of a fifth felony of attempted mayhem. For these charges, Chiclana could receive only a few days in jail or the maximum sentence, which is five years behind bars. As he has no criminal record, the maximum sentence is an unlikely conclusion.
             The struggle was a result of a wrongly relayed 911 call. Chiclana and his family were outside the hospital trying to convince his father to go back inside the hospital after a heart surgery. Their car would not start and they were attempting to start it using screwdrivers; however, the father had accidentally scraped Chiclana on his face, prompting the other family members to call 911 and ask for help moving the father back into the hospital. Upon arrival, the deputy attempted to detain Chiclana while his family shouted that he had the wrong man. Chiclana resisted arrest, and a fight ensued. The stories of the witnesses and the video that recorded the event differed slightly, creating confusion in the jury on who to charge and what with. They finally settled upon the four felonies and two misdemeanors. One of the peace officers was charged with a felony charge of assault, but no other deputies were disciplined for their actions regarding the situation.
             This obviously affects the police in that they are the first to respond to the scene. When police officers are dispatched they are responding to the information that they are given by the dispatcher are the time of the 911 call and that information come from the call...
