What is the name of your state? Missouri
hello. On December 06, I had 1 too many beers, and my wife made me mad or something so I pushed her into the stove (it was turned off). Something I wouldn't do normally when I'm sober. at the same time i was pushing on her mom's bedroom door trying to get in. I am not a violent person and domestic violence is something I definitely don't agree with. I love my wife a lot and would never ever try to harm her. when i pushed her, it was just a reflex action, and I regret doing it. she knows how much i love her, and knows how sorry i am for doing it. Her and her mom called the cops, and I was taken to jail for 24 hours. It was my first time I ever went to jail (after all, I don't even have a criminal record). and it is definitely not a place for me. I work, and than go home. that's my life. I don't go to bars, I don't go joy riding, etc. as much as i like to drink, i go to a bar probably once a year. My wife and I have now decided to seperate for a while over the situation, but I have given up alcohol for a while over it. I haven't had a drink since December 06. anyway, to make a long story short, after I was let out of jail the next day I thought that was the end of it. but last week I got a summons in the mail at my wife's house to show up in court in a couple weeks about this. my wife and her mom are supposed to show up to. does anyone have any idea what the judge might do? should i get a lawyer? will I be thrown in jail again, or just be fined? some advice would be helpful. thanks.What is the name of your state?
