My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania
Me and my boyfriend got in a fight about a month ago. In the heat of the moment i went to the police station and filed charges for assault and got a protection order. I learned last week a warrant was signed for his arrest and he was being charged with aggravated assault? Im no defense attorney but i filed these charges and know for certain he committed nothing of the sort. I have since filed a petition to drop the order of protection and included on it that i wished to drop the assault charges as well. My boyfriend wants to fly back up here from texas next week to attend the hearing... Does a family/civil court have the power to drop the criminal charges i filed since they are domestically related? Why is he being charged with aggravated assault for yelling at me and pushing me a couple of times? Is there any way to find out the maximum amount his bond would be if he had to turn in? What options do i have besides asking him to come back and turn in for a crime he didnt commit? please help neither of us want this!
