My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona
My gf of 17 years (off and on) called the police on me Monday morning and reported that I beat her up. I was on my way home to talk to her and eat lunch when I got pulled over by two Sheriffs and was promptly arrested. I spent 26 hours in the local jail. I did tell the cops she's SMI (Bi Polar Type 1) and she stopped taking her medication as of last Wednesday. They didn't care. We did get in an argument Sunday night. I did not once strike her, and only pushed her off of me to get her away. I was so frustrated that I ended up punching a hole in my drywall.
This morning in video court, she was allowed to speak and told the judge that she fears for her life and that I shouldn't be released. The judge asked for my response and I said she's Severely mentally ill (per the state) and off her medication. She responded saying she had not stopped taking her medication and that I was lying.
I have a chat log showing where she told me she stopped taking them

if you want to argue about it that's fine. you've made it clear that i'm not your "father" and obviously you're capable of taking care of yourself

I also have a chat log where she talks about her last off meds manic episode and how she thought I was trying to kill her.

I have never been charged with anything. I'm 32 years old, a veteran, and also a Federal Employee. These chat logs are in my Gmail chat logs. This is the worse thing I've ever been through in my life. It all started because I told her I wanted her to move out. Our agreement was that I would take care of everything, as long as she took her meds, and she broke that agreement. What do I need to do to get rid of these charges? I live in Arizona and it seems like I'm guilty until proven innocent.
