Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama April 28, 1989, 1 Div. 854 (Watkins v. City of Mobile)

BOWEN, Judge.

Neil Watkins was convicted of assault in the third degree in violation of a city ordinance. See Alabama Code 1975, § 13A-6-22. He was sentenced to ten days in the city jail and ordered to pay $180.50 in restitution. Watkins, a bail bondsman, claims that he cannot be guilty of assault because he was performing his duties legally and within the letter of the law.
