A: Not necessarily. While it best practice to arrest someone suspected of domestic violence ASAP, if your ex spouse went back alter and filed charges against you, then that could trigger them coming to arrest you later. That being said, your best bet is going to be to get with an attorney to delve into why they arrested you later, as well as review the discovery (evidence) that they have against you. Additionally, depending on what the evidence shows, you can strategize as far as either going to trial or working out a deal to avoid jail time and have this stay off of your record.
