Criminal Records: Alleged Harassment

My question involves criminal records for the state of: Indiana

Hello,

I have never been in trouble with the law before in my life but recently an ex-girlfriend of mine called the police when I sent her nasty emails telling her to stay away from me and to never contact me again. There were no threats of violence contained in the emails - just telling her to stay away and giving her a piece of my mind after some very rude behavior on her part towards me.

I received a phone call from a police lieutenant who said that I had been named a suspect in a harassment case. I feel that this is pure over-kill but I understand the police's role in all this. He informed me to stay away from her and to have absolutely no contact with her or a restraining order would be issued and then if I violated that I'd be arrested on a felony and would go directly to jail.

I had no intention of having any more contact with this person and told the police officer who then said that he would mark that I had been "notified" and that I was good to go as long as I followed his advice to stay away from this person. The Lieutenant also expressed some sympathy for my position.

My "case" is probably very common but I am not a stalker or any kind of deviant and I do not want anything on my record relating to this. In my opinion this whole affair has been a waste of my time and of the police's. I have not been able to get ahold of the Lieutenant to ask him this question so I thought it best to ask here - but I'm still going to contact the officer in charge.

So, my question is: will this appear on my criminal record? There have been no charges brought against me. There has been no arrest. There hasn't been anything except a "case" in which I have been named a "suspect."

Help. :confused:
