When the police get involved in a Domestic Violence call, the police will most certainly will make an arrest.  You may go to jail even if you believe you did not commit an offense.

What the alleged victim wants to have happen will not sway the police. They follow the law and arrest someone. This means that if they come to a domestic violence call someone is very likely going to jail. You will be held or released and ordered to come to your arraignment. In some courts, the arraignment is delayed because the police must send their report to the prosecutor who will decide whether to charge you or not.

Defense Attorney

Lynnwood WA

The police and the prosecutors take domestic violence charges very, very seriously, here in Lynnwood and throughout the entire state of Washington. It is the only non-felony charge that requires someone to be taken to jail. Throughout the state, the police must take a person to jail if they believe that a domestic violence offense has been committed. They often arrest someone at the scene of a domestic dispute. In the past, the police could simply warn the parties to calm down and leave. But not anymore! Once a person is thought to be an aggressor or someone who might have committed any one of the many domestic violence charges, then the police will take that person into custody and off to jail. The person who the police think is the victim will have no say in whether you are charged later in the court. So, a loud argument can go terribly wrong and end up with a good person facing criminal charges.
