He was probably doing something to make the police think he had a weapon, so I'm sure he's not completely innocent. But possession of a non-lethal weapon is a misdemeanor. If he does any jail time at all, which I doubt, he'll get 30 days in county. More than likely, he'll probably have to pay a fine and/or do community service.

Sounds like a nosy neighbour.....\n\nGo to your local police station and ask them what can be done.

Your local police department love helping out in cases like this. They can scare him in to stopping. they will do a fake arrest and show him how he will be treated as a law breaker. give them a try.

a person who does that has no pride and is the type of person who will only ever use people. i'd suggest telling him you are no longer able to afford helping him. and you should contact the authorities if he is an illegal.

no its not right. it sounds like self defense to me. im sure you will win in court...do you have any witnesses? you must, since someone had to call the cops

assault and battery. The assault was sticking his foot out, the battery was the actual trip.\n\nHard to prove unless you can prove intent!

It might mean that the charges can go up a degree if the injury is incapacitating. For instance if he was charged with simple assault but the victim turns out to have a broken bone then it could be changed to aggravated assault. I'm sure you want to defend your boyfriend but unless you were there don't assume that he was an innocent bystander. He can file counter complaints against mom and sis if they assautled him as well,but usually domestic violence cases are investigated so that the aggressor is the one arrested/charged, even though both sides may have thrown punches.

Unfortunately, we don't have your friend's information to go on here, so this is going to be a guess.\n\nDepending on what the alleged harassment was over the phone, it could have been a felony.  Felonies typically allow for arrests under circumstances that are a little less "demanding" than lesser crimes, so the police may have taken advantage of that extra latitude.\n\nI can see a few possibilities:\n\nYour friend admitted to making the call (not admitted to making harassing statements - though maybe she did - just admitted to making the call).  People admit to things like this all the time, without realizing they're putting themselves that much closer to the crime.\n\nThere was a witness to the call (you said she borrowed the phone from her boyfriend, so he might have told the police something about the call) or there was someone at the other end who recognized your friend's voice and/or heard what was said.\n\nThe police might have checked the boyfriend's cell phone and found a call from his phone was made to the other phone (cell phones have call logs, right?).\n\nAnd those things could have very well added up to probable cause to make a felony arrest.  It's not a great case, in my opinion, but it could certainly be enough for an arrest.  \n\nIt's also possible the police might even have better evidence than what I thought of, and that would only make the arrest even more appropriate\n\nAnd it's worth pointing out that he said/she said situations like this happen all the time, and arrests are made without "proof" all the time.  The standard for making an arrest isn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt, it's probable cause...which is considerably less than beyond a reasonable doubt.  So while taking one person's word about something might be enough for an arrest, it's probably going to be nowhere near enough for a conviction in the absence of any other information.

Sorry to hear about this situation. There are many cases like this out there and I hope that you friend get the help that she is in need of. The reason that she is facing charges by the state is because husband(bastard) filed charges first and he made it seems like self defense against her. Check in your area for a legal aide lawyer or counsel for help not only for the case but for help for her. Tell your friend to keep praying, God is going to turn it around.

Wonderful nickname.  You must be very proud.\n\nAnyway - there's no way anyone can offer you any intelligent help with this answer (look at what you have so far, and you'll see what I mean) without knowing all the details of the incident.  \n\nEither post the entire police investigation here (and I don't suppose that's going to happen), or just plan on working with your husband's lawyer in this case.  Nobody here can possibly help you with this without knowing the details of the case.

At the time he pulled over he may have wanted to assist you but this was before he recieved a dispatch of disturbance. He may have returned to arrest you for the disturbance but found that you was gone so towed the car...police have the right to search your car if probable cause is warranted.\nNormally what they would have done is put a ugly orange colored sticker on your car telling you to move it within a certain time and if not removed then they would tow it but not search it..they did what they did to you because they had probable cause.

True story- My brother nabbed a purse snatcher and held him down until the police arrived. All that happened was he had to go to court one day and testify against the dude. \nI would say that would classify as a citizens arrest.
