My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas : Montgomery County
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Occurred like this
My horse got out of the fence. Daughter (5 yrs) and friends went to get horse. Horse ran into neighbors yard. Neighbor chased horse and yelled at kids saying he will call CPS and have them taken away. From the street between our houses, I threw beer bottle in neighbors yard and Cussed at him.
He grabbed a crow bar and ran around the corner to my yard and hit me with the crowbar. (after a few seconds of verbal jousting)
I took the crowbar away and sat on him until other showed up.
He was charged with aggravated assault, I was charged with disorderly conduct and "assault - verbal"
Now I understand the charge against ME has changed to assult with bodily injury!
I have seven staples in my head from the crowbar... he does not have any damage at all.
I have tried to hire an attorney but I am not having much luck getting anyone to return my calls.
I am wondering how I can be charged with bodily injury, I think at that point I was defending myself from a man with a crowbar.
Up until the crowbar hit my head I had not laid a hand on him.
Added: The police officer said that their story and mine were the same, so the "facts' do not seem to be in dispute.
