Question:

not pressing charges?

ok..so me and my bf or ex or whattever, have been together adn living together for 4 in a half years. the past 3 weeks we have been broken up with he has not evicted me at all. lately we were getting along and then last night i came over to get some stuff and he flipped ...he called the cops saying i tried running him over and the car i am driving is getting re po soon and i wouldn't return it. I took off..( I DID NOT TRY RUNNING HIM OVER) i called him 10 mins later and he kept asking me the same thing, why did u try and run me over and i kept saying wtf are u talking about. he first told me he called the cops,. then said he didnt...later that evening he told me he did and that the cop was there the whole time on speaker, but he todl the cops he didnt want to press charges. he has no proof nor any witnesses. did they have to fill out a police report if he isn't pressing charges or can the cops still come after me? any information would be great, thanks!

Answer:

the police would have written down all the information, wether or not he decided to press charges. if he isnt pressing charges, then the cops wont do anything but the police report will still exist. if he does, then he's gunna have a hard time coming up with evidence and witnesses to back up his claim. i think that depending on how you play it out in court, the judge should favor your side. if the car was in fact supposed to be repossessed and you left with the car, that could be motive for him to make up a lie in order to get back at you for taking the car.
In a Domestic Violence situtation, witnesses are not needed to press a charge. If your ex claims you attempted to run him over with a car and he presses the charge, a warrent for your arrest will be issued. Basically, at this point, it turns into a He said, she said situation in court. Best advice and only thought here is to call the Police Department and find out if he has pressed the charge. If so, make arrangements to turn yourself in and deal with it. In either case, and this is not any kind of advice, I would seriously get as far from him as possible for life. Even if he did not press a charge now, next time he gets upset with you, he more than likely will. Best of luck and I hope this is useful
