There can be many reasons. But the police are allowed to operate their discretion and not charge someone with a crime (which is what the ticket would be for even if a minor one). Perhaps the officer exercised this discretion for his or her own reasons.

You should contact a criminal attorney in your area and go through the charges. It looks like a Violent Felony with a no contact order for domestic violence plus underlying charges.

There is no cap, but in Florida claims on security can only be for damage over "normal wear and tear" and possibly delinquent rental or late fee balances depending on the lease. Put another way, in Florida, landlords may be able to make deductions from the security deposit to cover... View More

Generally, yes, managers can do this -- although it is not a good management practice obviously.

Crimes are committed against the state, not an individual, so only the prosecutor decides whether to "press charges" or not. My sense is that the public often thinks that individual people can decide to press charges because a prosecutor is less likely to move forward if a victim is... View More

Employment in the U.S. is "at will," which means that the employer generally can fire an employee for any reason. "From a judicial perspective, the hallmark of at-will employment is that courts cannot review the employer’s decision to fire an employee. This is true because a court... View More

You could do jail time depending on what the prosecutor wants.
