Winter Garden, FL asked in Domestic Violence for Florida

Q: My bf was arrested for dv, he pressed chrgs agnst me, will i be arrested later? There were no bruises on him, just me

I refused to press charges, but cops made him think I was completely against him, and so he said i pushed him & wanted to press charges, they arrested him bc i had scratches and bruises everywhere. We were very drunk and fighting over keys (no real abuse occurred) i testified at his hearing and there is a nonviolent injunction in place. Also, how likely is it that he will be prosecuted?

A: It is very likely that he will be prosecuted and you will most likely not be arrested.
