What is the name of your state? Tennessee
I have a question involving dropping a charge of reckless endangerment on my ex boyfriend. I went to his house and caught him with another girl. Needless to say I was pissed off, but to top it, I had just had emergency surgery 3 days prior. When he opened the door and I started yelling at him, he shot a gun into the yard to shut me up and scare me (he was very drunk and using coke at the time, not that it makes it okay). I went to the police and they said that because I told the detective that I was not scared for my life or safety( this was not the first time it happened, but I was making sure it would be the last before he really did hurt me), that the reckless eandangerment was all I could file. He is already on probation for an unrelated reckless endangerment and possession of paraphanelia charge. He's violated 4 or 5 times and has served 3 weeks for it. By having a warrant out for him, it has violated again. So he's gonna serve about 7 months without the reckless endangerment. But I'm afraid that the reckless endangerment will keep him in jail for years, which I don't want to be responsible for. Is there anything that I can do to make sure this doesn't happen? I want him to be punished, but I can't live with myself knowing I put him in jail for that long. Also another question, is it possible for him to be indicted for aggravated assault or a similiar charge if the police found the bullet shells? I just want to put all of this behind me and be dine with it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
