i am from montana. last night i got into an altercation with my roommate. we were playing poker and drinking (us and 2 other people). after he threw a roll of papertowels very hard into my face i got more and more angry that he would not apologize but rather was blaming the incident on me. as i continued to comfront him and he continued to taunt me about the situation i threatened to hit him. he then said, "hit me then." i went to hit him, he blocked it and then said, "just hit me." i tried again and this time really hit him hard. he almost immediately began bleeding as i immediately began walking away. after coming back out from my room i noticed he grabbed his phone. he said that it was assult and that he was calling the cops. long story short, he did actually call the cops and i got an MIP. i was told that i needed to find another place to stay for the night and that i would be given a ride. they also said that he was unsure of whether or not he was going to press charges for the assault.
my questions are: 1. am i looking at a $100-$300 fine with 20hrs community service and a anti-drug class for the MIP? 2. how long does he have to decide if he wants to go ahead with the assault charges and what kind of a penalty is that going to be? and 3. what length of time will a MIP and a assault charge stay on someones record?
thank you so much for any help.
