He called 911 to have them come out and assess his arm. The cops arrived... and i left with my mother.. she came to pick me up.. my concern is i am a nurse and i have a license to protect... any advise or legal suggestions. He is taking full responsibility for everything..
A:
You should be o.k. Police Officers are great about considering the impact of their decisions on people. If you were not issued a citation or arrested, the police probably issued a police report. It is difficult to locate a copy.
This police report might be considered if there is another incident. At least that's what I would do when I was a cop. Cops, Courts, and Prosecutors want to ensure there is no more such activity.
So, review what happened and take whatever corrective action needed. Times are hard. All of us are stressed. If alcohol was a cause, take care to avoid it. Maybe seek some counseling for stress. Church might help too. In any event, make sure you take some action. If it happens again, getting some help now will help you at Court. Bless you. Jim
