Domestic Assault in Missouri
My boyfriend and I got into an argument in this small hillbilly town he is from... we were verbally arguing - there was no physical assault or anything like that- we had been drinking - he was drunk- i wasn't - we were at a hotel and someone called the police - this is the bad part of it - the police came - I told them he did not hit me - which he didnt - and they let us go back into the room - Joe, my bf, came in after talking to the police a few minutes longer and said we had to leave the hotel - the hotel manager said so - then he decided he wanted a refund if we had to leave - went back outside yelling im sure - and they cops arrested him for assault. I bailed him out that night- 1000.00 bail - we went to another hotel but I was still mad at him so got up early and left - ( I know that was wrong of me) well he went out on the street upset and mad and was arrested again for disturbing the peace. By this time I had turned around to go back and get him (guilt) I found out he had been arrested for two counts of assault and on tampering with a witness - (witness is me - he didnt - I dont know what they are talking about) the other assault charge was for one over a year ago that had been dismissed. The Pros Atty brouht it back up. I do not want to press charges, the other person does not want to press charge - this was over 18 months ago. He has been in jail since august 10 because the bond is so high - $10,000 for each charge - cash only. The PA is set to sen him back to prison - he is a felon - went to prison for 5 years for drugs. He has been out for over two and we have no problem until he goes back to this small town where he was arrested and convicted - they know him there - he does not do drugs or anything now - and I did not know him back then - the cops, sheriffs, judges all know him and are biased. He has NEVER hit me - he just has a loud mouth and we were yelling. Im so afraid he is going back to prison and it will be my fault. I have paid $3000.00 to an attorney but he is not local and I dont think he will get him out of this mess. NOTHING HAPPENED. I know he used to be stupid and bad but he is not now - please help . We had only gone back to this town to see about his crazy mother - we live 150 miles away in Kansas City. The attorney I have says all of this would be thrown out in KC. I have been driving every week to visit him for 15 minutes and working two jobs to pay the attorneys. Im about to fall apart - the county is the one that has made me a victim! I would never put up with any man hitting me - I know it is all my fault because he had just said "hold it down before someone calls the cops" and then there was that rap on the door.
