Unlike television, the police do not have to read you your rights until you are BOTH under arrest and being interrogated. If they did obtain a statement or evidence from you in violation of Miranda those things could be suppressed at trial. Chances are there was no such violation here.

If you are charged with battery pursuant to PC 242, then you face the potential of jail time, a fine, and possibly probation. It is not likely you will be seeing the inside of a jail cell for more than a weekend (maybe a few weekends) unless you have priors.

It would benefit you to consult with an attorney who can review all the circumstances (and reports) of your case.
