A: You didn't ask a question. I would recommend hiring a lawyer in the jurisdiction where you were arrested. A family violence conviction can result in a permanent ban on possessing a firearm.

A: Hello.

Don't need to read your rights if your wife already called said that you injured her and officers witness bruising. They already had enough probable cause for an arrest. The reading of the rights come in only if, they tried to get your testimony after being arrested.
