What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Ok, a few days ago my mother was involved in a domestic situation with her now ex. I was t her home at the time, but did not actually see it happen. I heard arguing (nothing unusual), but could not make out what they were saying. Soon after she tells me her boyfriend hit her (she had blood on her) and broke her glasses. She called 911 and her ex-boyfriend immediately left the house.
Anyway, cops come out and take down the information. I told them I heard arguing and I told them what she had told me. I did not tell them I had seen it happen (which I didn't), only that she had told me it happened. At the time the police believed her, but now are dropping the case due to he said-she said (he had blood on him too).
Anyway, I know its hard to predict, but what would you say the chances of her being arrested for filling false report are (I don't think she did, but the police are saying it's possible.) And what are the chances of me being arrested for telling the cops I head yelling and relaying what she had told me?
Thanks.
oh, the offense of filling a false report is a class b misdemeanor in Texas.
