My question involves criminal law for the state of: Indiana.
Last Sept. 07 after my wife and I were divorced I was dropping off the kids and she started attacking me when I got out to let the kids out. She was mad at me for taking the kids to a fair. I pushed her away a few times and the last time she fell on the ground. All I wanted was to get her back so I could get in the truck to leave.
I left she called the police and filed domestic battery charges against me. The next day she went down and dropped the charges. After talking to the deputy prosecutor and the detective a few times over the phone they had said as far as they were concerned it was dropped after hearing my side of the story.
Now I get stopped for a taillight and arrested for a warrant issued May19 2008 for the domestic charges. I was bailed out the same night but given a paper that my court date is July 11. So what will happen when I go? Should I get a lawyer to take with me? I have no criminal record and were married for 17 years. Need to know what all will happen next?
