    What will likely happen to her?
    She's likely to go to jail or prison. No one is going to offer her anything simply because it's her first offense or because she's bipolar and on meds. She's the one who chose to get shit-faced and attack you and a cop.

    She needs a criminal defense attorney to advise her and maybe try to negotiate some sort of plea bargain.

    If the "assault on the peace officer" was mearly struggling against arrest, she might get it dismissed (this is often a tacked on charge that's hard to prosecute), however since she appear to have caused physical injury to the officer (based on your post), she needs to be very concerned.

    Being bipolar is no free ride. It doesn't make one incompetent, in the legal sense. That said....if your sister is suffers from type I BPD AND has gone off of her meds for awhile than that could explain the behavior. Being drunk and belligerent isn't an excuse, though. Otherwise just think how many people would skate from countless charges of violence in the home.
