Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My son is 17 and was recently arrested on the charge of non-violent resisting arrest. There was a party where someone called the police because it was too loud. He left the party because he did not want to be involved and be in the middle of the mayhem. It was dark and loud and the police claimed they yelled for him to stop--he did not stop right away, since he did not hear them. He finally heard them, stopped and they arrested him, took him to a detention center where he spent the night until we came to get him early the next morning. He was not read his rights. He is a good kid--straight A's a member oft the Burnett honors college at UCF. Is there a chance this can get thrown out? Will it be on his record forever? Should the letter to the state's attorney defending his case come from an attorney? Will this affect his chances to get into medical school?

You should try to hire an attorney. This sounds like a defensible case.
