It is alright here to "Visit" with someone while recovering another . . . it is not alright to "pat" (touch) them down or "detain" (ie . . . cuff them, hold {take} them to the side, in another room, etc.) them.
For touching them, one can be charged with "simple assault", a Class 'A' Misdemeanor (punishable ~ up to a year in the County Jail)
For detaining them, one can be charged with "False Imprisonment" . . . also a Class 'A' Misdemeanor (punishable ~ up to a year in the County Jail).
Of course, the above only would occur should the 'offended' party put up a fuss about it to the LE.
That is not to say that if you are "attacked" by a party other than the one you are taking into custody that you cannot defend your self. By all means one must protect him/herself.
Always be aware of the Laws in the area you are operating in or, intend to operate in

Uhm . . . I know the District Judge here would not take that into consideration during your sentencing. Altho, your lawyer could try
If a situation is bad to start out with it will only get worse . . . One can always come back another day . . . OR . . . another place.
if someone impedes ones free travel...unwillingly...then they commited the act of kidnaping..in okla anyways.you always have the right to defend yourself and or place someone under arrest"citizen arrest" if they have commited a felony in your presents.but no on except lawenforcement has the right to detain limit movement or control anyone unless it is to protect themselves from physical harm.just cuz some one runs off at the mouth,doesnt give you the right to lay hands on them.some hunters in okc seem to not care due to there friendship with high ranked officers either with city police or county...im just sayin...these folks that get detained or controled have more right to defend themselves then the hunters who are clearly steping out of bounds.
