My friend got arrested and charged last week for: Malicious Mischief (breaking items in the home while arguing with his grandma), interfering with a police call (he disconnected the phone while his grandma called 9-11), and they also charged him with Domestic Violence/Assault IV although he claimed he never hit his grandma, and he also claims his grandma disputes this and wants to have this dropped. He was given a no-contact order with his grandma for five years, something his grandma also wants dropped.
So he moves in with his grandpa as of a few days ago. Two days ago, he got into an argument that lead to a fight. He claimed it was a self defense, but he was charged with Domestic Violence/Assault IV. Its been 48 hours. He is 19 with no record. How long until his arraignment? How long is he going to be locked up until before the trial? When could he post bond? What kind of sentence is he looking at? WA state has a law I belive where those charged with domestic violence are not released until the arraignment. This aggravates the situation. Thank you.
