Colorado,
So an incident occurred between my father and a former friend back in may. After taking verbal abuse my father had confronted his former friend. They then struck my father in the head with a beer bottle and created a gash on his forhead. My father then retaliated and attacked the man punching him in the mouth causing cuts and bleeding. Drunk, the other man had driven to the hospital where he received treatment. He is now asking my father to pay for his hospital bill and has pressed charges. There is a warrant out for my fathers arrest and I would like to know what options, if any my father has in this matter. He did not receive any medical help that was recorded (my mother is a nurse and attended to him) but he does have witnesses that can confirm that the other man had struck him first with the beer bottle.
