Q: .
Hi I was wondering if you could help my husband and I got into an argument since I had to much to drink I called the cops and told them he had hit me they arrested him and charged him with aggravated assault, but it wasn't true I said that stuff because I was drunk can I drop the charges since he's never hit me he's a good man loving husband and father his kids miss him honestly I wasn't thinking straight what can I do to take him out of jail. Please help or if you can guide me in a direction of help thanks greatly appreciate it.
A: You do not have the ability to "drop charges". You can make a statement to the District Attorney's office about what really happened. It is up to them to decide which version is the truth. I would suggest your husband hire an attorney to defend himself from these charges.
