Victoria King was found guilty of resisting an officer without violence and battery by a jury at a Friday trial.
On Sept. 4, 2013, King, a UCF student at the time, was pulled over by UCF Police Officer Timothy Isaacs for a routine brake light traffic stop, according to police. After refusing to roll down her window completely, Officer Isaacs shattered King’s window and arrested her.
Isaacs took the stand on Friday and testified that while King could have taken the ticket and been on her way, her refusal to leave the car after not wanting to roll down her window led to the situation escalating.
“I’m happy with the outcome,” Isaacs told KnightNews.com while leaving the courtroom immediately following the verdict.
King did not comment after the verdict, however, her attorney Roger Weeden said he was disappointed with the result.
“I think on the campus there the police should be looking out for students,” Weeden said. “Ms. King had some health issues and rather than being concerned about that, he was concerned about his control of the scenario.”
Weeden has not ruled out an appeal and suggested next week’s sentencing could be a factor on the final decision to appeal.
“We’ll start looking at an appeal. The next step is a sentencing next Friday. We’ll see how that goes,” Weeden said.
King could face up to two years in jail. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for Sept. 26.
