Why Am I Charged With an Assault When I Am the One Who Called the Police?
When the police are called and arrive at you location they do not take into account who actually called the police. The first thing the officer will do is take the statements of all parties involved and look for other clues. At that point he or she will decide who will be arrested.
In almost every case when an officer is called for a domestic dispute someone will go to jail and will be charged with family violence assault case. Domestic violence cases in Dallas and surrounding areas are very serious because if they are not handled properly and future accusations can be enhanced to a felony.
