My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland
So my fiancee came home yesterday and he asked me for his documents which i did not have and he resulted into chocking me and hitting me several times which i had been used to since it was not the first time he had hitting me. So this time i decided i had enough of it and i dialed 911 and told them what was wrong and they quickly responded and i believe my fiancee heard me call them. So by the time the cops were here i had locked myself in the master bedroom and my fiancee was at the basement but he was the one that opened the door. He then gave his version of the story saying that i had scratched him and hurt him so bad to a point that he was bleeding and honest to God i had not touched this man at all. So i gave them the version of my story and since i did not have visible marks on me, i was arrested for close to 7 hours and later released. So the police stated on my case that they asked my fiancee to act out what happened and it was not consistent with how it happened and that My fiancee stated that he was not quite sure what happened. I am now supposed to appear before court in a couple of months and i would not want to go to jail and i would not want him neither to go to jail since am here on a visa and he is the one providing for us and our new born baby. He claims he will drop the charges. What should i do?
