My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Michigan
My ex boyfriend has a PPO against me. The terms of it state that we can not have any contact (in any form) whatsoever.
A few weeks ago, I got a bit too emotional and emailed him.
In this email I explained that I had lost irreplaceable pictures of a memorial we shared for our miscarried child. I asked him if he still had any digital copies, and if he would be willing to send them to me.
{no need to tell me I'm stupid/this was stupid. I KNOW that}
Needless to say; my ex decided to call the cops. I was arrested and spent one night in a holding cell. I was released the next day, and now have an arraignment hearing set for Monday.
I know that I could be facing fines and even jail time. But what can I expect to occur at this hearing? Will I get a chance to explain to the judge what had happened? Or will I just enter a plea and have to see what happens?
I just need to know how bad this could turn out. I'm pretty scared. Any advice would help!
