I live in Kentucky (right across the river from Cincinnati)

Basically this:
We live in a old apartment building where the walls and floors are sorta thin. Our downstairs neighbor is a complete drunk, and anytime we walk across our kitchen floor he scream obscenities at us. For example, earlier today i was eating lunch and dropped my cellphone (from a sitting position) and I got screamed at. This man also likes to BLARE his TV while he's down there.
Well my boyfriend came home from work and we ate dinner and were sitting in our kitchen watching tv smoking a cigarette (and I mean a cigarette) and police come to our door. I asked what it was about and they said there was a complaint we were up here stomping around. I explained we weren't we just walk and sometimes I drop things when I'm cleaning. The cop then proceeded to accuse my BF of being high because his eyes were a little red. I admit, he was smoking weed earlier. He basically confessed and gave up his weed and such. He got arrested, completely cooperative, keeping his mouth shut, the cop then said "If you try anything I will LET you fall down these stairs".

Now, way back in December of 2007 I filed for an EPO on him in a different county because of a little domestic violence going on. He and I made resolutions, he was ordered Anger Management which he was abiding by. The judge also put into effect a DVO, which he CLEARLY stated at the hearing as well as on the paper that we could live together, have contact, just no ILLEGAL contact meaning physical abuse.

Well, I get a call from my BF after he was booked in he said he was being charged with Possession, Paraphanalia, and EPO violation.
FYI he lived up in Northern Indiana until almost a year ago, he's 21 going on 22 in Dec, and got a misdemeanor for paraphanalia when he was 18 in Indy.
He also spent 22 days in Jail for the Domestic Violence thing, 11 months were probated.

I am having trouble understand how this is even possibly related to the EPO or DVO or whatever, if they can charge that, because not a single thing on the paper said anything about drugs and we are allowed to reside and such together. His court hearing is tomorrow morning and I am going to try to tell the judge that we are allowed around each other. He's saying because of the EPO on top of all that he could be looking at 5-10 years, is that even right??

HELLLLLPPPPP!!!!
