Last week my fiancé and I had a huge argument on his mothers front porch and the police were called. My fiancé ended up getting charged with Battery on a LEO and Resisting with violence. I witnessed everything except about 8 seconds of the interaction between him and the arresting officer. She claimed he kicked her which I assumed was in the 8 seconds I did not see. We received a copy of the police report today and it was extremely inaccurate. She claims she tackled him and had him pinned with her elbow into his back on the couch which is true but she said he kicked her when she was on top of him. However his feet were folded up under him so he couldn't have kicked her. She also claims that he knocked her off of the porch which also never happened, she actually knocked him off I witnessed that part. Then she claimed he tried to run away after he was already cuffed and she had to slam him down again which is also false. He never tried to run he just looked over his shoulder at me while he kept walking forward with her and that was when she slammed him down. She was the only officer there until that point and her body cam was off. Once back up arrived they all jumped on top of him and ended carrying him to the car and putting him on the floor board. About 5 minutes later 2 male officers said he was being violent and proceeded to jerk him out of the car and basically hog tie him. 5 minutes later a different male officer did it again. They tried to get me to file domestic violence charges against him but he never touched me, though at one point I thought he had tried to even though he never has before in our 4+ year relationship so I'm not sure if he was trying to or just moving erratically like he does when he's upset. Either way I refused because he didn't actually touch me. However in her report it says I said he hit, bit and kicked me which isn't true. I also never filled out any papers or signed anything. Today after I read the report I went to the neighbor to see what she saw and she said she never saw any thing the officer claimed either but agreed with everything I saw and that she would testify. Then she remembered about her outside camera that points right to where the officer claims everything occurred however she isn't sure how clear of an image it is. Most people are telling me it doesn't matter what I say I witnessed nor what the neighbor said and that it doesn't really matter that we might have it on video because this type of charge is rarely dropped. I'm not sure though. So my question is If we have it on video what do ya'll think is the chance of getting it dropped and if we don't have video but have myself and another witness with the same exact memory what are the chances of getting it dropped?
I have no record at all an have never been in any type of trouble at all. My fiancé has a felony from 8 years ago that he got probation for, non violent offense. The neighbor has a misdemeanor battery charge from 15 years ago against her ex.
