    Unhappy Summons To Court For Assault Because I Spit On Someone In Maine

    I recently got a summons to court for assault because i spit on someone. I only spit on them because they were up in my face harrassing and threatening me. If the person who i did this to doesnt want to press charges why am i being summoned? and another question, what will happen if i do get assault? HELP!

    So you are being charged with assault?

    If that is the situation, sometimes the prosecuting attorney will proceed with the case even if the person who the assault was against doesn't want to pursue it.

    Do you mean if you get assaulted what should you do?

    If that is what you mean, you should call the police and have them take a report of the offense.

    Or do you mean if you are facing assault charges, what should you do?

    If that is what you mean, consulting with an attorney should be something you should consider.
