Court of Appeals of Georgia June 18, 1908, 1179 (Croy v. State)

Powell, J.

An officer was attempting to arrest certain kinsmen of the defendant. It is claimed that under the circumstances this arrest was illegal; but in the light of what we are about to say, inquiry into this is wholly immaterial. The defendant interfered, - and the officer attempted to take him also. He threw his hand back as if to draw a weapon, and disclosed a pistol in his pocket.
