    The "how" is explained by the "did."

    Now get yourself a lawyer.

    And stop confessing to a criminal act online where the prosecutors can find it. If you used your real name, that wasn't too bright either.

    I suggest hiring an Alabama attorney, then.

    I can't hardly understand you. Even people from Alabama tend to speak better English. However, you do appear to be guilty of third degree domestic violence. You should talk to nobody but an attorney at this point. Kicking at someone's front door fits in to the realm of harassment. If it is someone that meets the list of domestic relationship tests, it's domestic violence.

    I suspect that the prosecution is alleging menacing, as a basis of a third degree d.v. charge. ("A person commits the crime of menacing if, by physical action, he intentionally places or attempts to place another person in fear of imminent serious physical injury.") If the sister in fact was not there, then the charge can be amended such that it's no longer a d.v. charge, with the victim being the sister's boyfriend.

    There are a whole slew of things listed in the DV3 including both the menacing and harassment. If the poster thought the sister was there, the intent to alarm/instill fear/etc... is enough (even if the sister wasn't there to be so alarmed).
