What is the name of your state? Washington State
Okay, so my sisters best friend ran away from home. Apparently, her mom physically(Not 100% sure this one is true) and emotionally abuses her to the point where she has attempted to commit suicide multiple time. So, she is gone for two weeks and shows up at my door today. So, later that day the cops show up, go to my back gate to my back yard. This gate is locked and my dogs are outside. He UNLOCKS the gate and one of my dogs bit him (Not bad at all, like a snip with no physical marks left). I run outside and he threatens to shoot my dog. I take my dogs inside and my mom talks to the cops. I don't know what happens but they threaten to cite my parents for my dog bitting them and for us harboring a run away. We try to explain to them the circumstance but they brush it all off and say we are in the wrong no matter what. She went outside the second her name was mentioned and then they took her away.
Just wondering if there is anything I can do legally for both getting her to stay here and if the cops committed some kind of violation. I filed a complaint against the officers but not sure whats gunna happen. The operator made it seem like we were completely in the wrong letting her stay here when it is like 20 degrees outside...
I dunno, im confused, frustrated, and angry. Any advice would be appreciated.
