What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
Background in the case is this. Our female friend was assaulted by her live in boyfriend. And then by his mother the next day. She came over to our house and asked us to help her get her things she was leaving. We proceeded to go over there, and she thought about it, got her mind cleared and decided she wasn't leaving it was her place too. She was going to file charges of assault on him and his mother. While we were there, he came home and asked us to leave his property because he did not want anyone there when he wasn't home. After he unblocked the doorway we proceeded to leave the premises and went to the road. Where he then proceeded to threaten us with bodily harm. We called the police, but since we had left the area and went back home ( a few doors down) we were not in immediate danger he would not becoming out to investigate, just told us to take charges out on him for communicating a threat, which the magistrate gave us a court date for. At the same time she took us down there and filed her charges against them for assault. He was arrested and held for 48 hours before getting released on bond. That was today. Tonight there was another incident at their home and more police showed up. After leaving their home, the police came to our home, and asked if we were aware that supposedly there was a warrant for us for trespassing. The officer said he called in and found no record of a warrant as of yet, but we know filing takes a while between systems.
Questions are these: Can his trespassing charge stick because she did invite us.
And if she decides to not agree that he threatened us, do we still have a case. She is our only witness. We do have witnesses (visitors from another state who have gone back home) that she invited us. but they did not witness us being threatened, they stayed at our home to watch our child.
