Sixth Circuit -- USA v. Sathon Evans

 Ohio 'assaulting a police officer' statute is a crime of violence for sentencing guidelines purposes.

Ohio drug sale statute that includes offering to sell qualifies under federal drug sale statute.  No circuit split for contrary holding in 5th Circuit, as intent to offer to sell is different from intent to sell.

USA v. Sathon Evans
Compiled by D.E. Frydrychowski, who is, not incidentally, not giving you legal advice.
