hello, if i had and argue with my wife and she took the phone to call the police, is it illegal for me to grab the phone from her so she doesn't call the police?
Answer
Taking the telephone from a person who is calling the police can be a number of crimes. They fall within the general category of obstruction of justice. The typical charges for this conduct is either obstruction of justice or intimidating a witness.
Answer
Yes, the exact charge is Intimidation of a Witness and it's a felony. Before practicing family law, I was a prosecutor and would see these charges regularly in domestic cases.
