I don't have much helpful to add, but I had a colleague who had a bad night, acquired some felony charges for a firearm-related assault and they got fired/blacklisted for a few years.

Subsequently, they did IT contract work behind the scenes with small contractors, kept in touch with his professional network, was super helpful to the rest of us, and after serious concerns and much debate, got back into his prior career with a new employer.

I don't even know how, because normally a felony would be a no-hire, but he pulled it off, likely because he was so helpful and giving to his professional network throughout this mess.

Felony charges are a lot different from felony convictions. Was he convicted?

The gap in the Linkedin history says yes, and how cagey OP is being with what they did (there was definitely physical violence involved, just not battery), I suspect they would absolutely mention it if they weren't convicted.

Speculating, but it sounds about right for someone who might have threatened to kill a cop and resisted arrest while publicly intoxicated. Spitting on government employees and attempted bribery are frequent additions to these types of charges.

Public intoxication can dig yourself into a really deep hole, really quickly. Don't do it.
