Typical bf/gf stuff here. The police were called, they saw a crime was committed and they made the arrest of the person who did it. Honestly, the police could care less if you wanted him to be arrested or not. Once the police are called, it is mostly in their hands and they will arrest if they have cause. I take it you to live together and this happened at the residence? The protection order is normal protocol and honestly in a lot of places you can get it dismissed if you go talk to the DA and tell him and then you may have to see a judge. Once again though, why does everyone want to make excuses for someone being drunk. He made a stupid mistake and you know this, so he will face the music now. I doubt he will get anything more than probation and a fine, but it all depends on his record.
