Were You Arrested at DFW or Dallas Love Airport?

Airports everywhere exist in states of high security. In addition to local police personnel, there are federal agents such as TSA representatives and Customs and Border Protection workers.

Because of this reason, security personnel inside an airport won’t wait to arrest you if you’re suspected of causing a disturbance or breaking the law. Read on to learn about common crimes people are arrested at the airport for and how a Fort Worth criminal defense lawyer can help.

What Are The Most Common Airport Crimes And Arrests?

The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport welcomes more than 73 million visitors per year as they depart or pass through the airport on the way to their final destination. In such a large airport, criminal activity does take place and arrests are made.

One of the most common ways for you to get arrested at the airport is when traveling with an active warrant out for your arrest. Federal TSA or CBP agents could see the active warrant and have you taken into custody.

Another way to get arrested at the airport is to commit a crime at the airport itself. Some of the most common crimes committed in airports include:

Regardless of the charges you face, getting arrested at the airport is a very serious problem. Often airport-related arrests are related to federal crimes, and the consequences of a conviction are devastating for personal, professional, and family life.

Consulting a DFW arrest lawyer can help you take proactive steps to defending yourself from all allegations.

Jeff Kennedy truly cares. He and his staff kept me informed all the way throughout my case and provided me with all my options and the potential outcomes for my case. When the day finally arrived to resolve my case, Jeff was able to negotiate a reduction to a lesser charge. He was well prepared and coordinated everything perfectly. Jeff is not only a good lawyer, but a good man.

N.C.L.

I hired Mr. Jeff Kennedy to handle a DWI charge. From day one, I knew I had picked the right attorney. Jeff always took the time to answer any of my questions, treated me very professionally, and truly cared about my case. I have never been in any kind of trouble before and I was very nervous about the thought of going to trial. Jeff thoroughly explained the entire process to me and made me feel at ease. Jeff took my case to trial and the jury found me NOT GUILTY!

P.T.S.

Jeff Kennedy is a professional, intelligent, easy-to-talk-to lawyer with an excellent understanding of how the system works. Jeff was able to get my twice the legal limit BAC thrown out and he kept me from having an interlock device put on my car. This has been my only big mistake in life so far (hopefully the last) and I am glad he was there to walk me through it. You will not regret hiring him.
