What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My husband was arrested for Domestic Violence charges on Monday 06/02/2014. the incident happened on 02/28/2014. I am not the one who called the police, they were called by a 3rd party and came to take a report after my husband had already left the premises. We were never notified of any warrant/court date or anything of the sort. The report has some things on it that I never said, they were spoken for me. For example, the report states "he hit her so hard he knocked her over" but i never said that, my mother-in-law, who was not in the room, insisted that, that is what happened but in reality he pushed me back off of him because i was practically on top of him trying to take his phone and i lost my balance and fell. He has no history of violence what so ever and is being charged with a misdemeanor. Why is he still being held? How long will he be held for? we are a low income/no income family and cannot afford an attorney, is there anything i can do that will help him?
