I was arrested a month ago for Domestic Violence/malicious mischief, basically, my girlfriend at the time told the cops that she was scared of me when I had what could be construed as a "nervous breakdown." Although, I know for a fact that she did that mostly because she was mad at me for breaking up with her that day, because she has many issues that I can't deal with, and I became extremely frustrated at the fact that she told me she was going to have sex with a guy that night in retaliation. We were living together at the time, in a lease situation (or so I thought). I feel she is guilty of domestic violence, although, not physically, she has a problem with men, in which she antagonizes her boyfriends (especially if they leave her in the relationship because she is extremely verbally abusive) and then cries to the cops when the guy acts out, trying to free himself from her constant emotional abuse. Of course, the cops come and arrest ME, and I feel like I am the victim. I feel I acted almost out of self defense, in that I didn't want to come home to where I legally lived at the time, and find her in bed with another person. I feel that would have been too much for me to handle, and things would have gotten alot worse.
So, my question is, in court, would this be considered false arrest, if they do determine that she has a certain personality disorder that causes her to twist the truth around, or do I get a "time served" for basically trying to protect myself?

need more information

How did you "act out" in retaliation to her verbal abuse? You placed great emphasis on the reasons behind your actions, but you're vague about exactly what you did. Since your behavior was the trigger for the police call, you'd need to provide some information about what happened to get an answer about your options at this point.
