What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
My 18 yr. old son and I had a quick scuffle. I'm trying to get info from him on another police incident he had, he was rude and abusive to me and my wife. I tell him to sit down, he pushes me , I push him, gets heated for about 10 seconds, he ends up getting slapped in the face. He leaves the house.
The police call from the previous incident he was in the night before, my wife tells the cop that the kid and I had an "altercation" and the kid left. The Cop from a neighboring town, calls my town to investigate a possible domestic violence issue. I had gone back to work, cops come to my house, my kid is back home now, they take him in, take a photo of him, his face is red from our issue. He thinks he is in trouble, says the issue was nothing, but they want to talk to me. I come home from work, tell my story, I protect the kid, tell them it was my fault, they arrest me.
My kid doesnt want me arrested, my wife saw the whole thing, she knows I did nothing wrong.
Only thing that scares me is my Security Clearance. I know I can lose it easily. Getting a lawyer ASAP.
Anyone have advice?
Luckily I live in a small town, have a good rep, I talked to friends at police, they gave me a little advice, apologized for having to follow the law.
I think I can get off easy, as I should. My son and I are very ok about it all. He is staying with a friend until the hearing in a couple weeks.
Thanks
