Q: I was subpoenaed to court later this month as a "victim" in an A.W.D.W. case. I don't want anything to do w/it as I now
Know was a total misunderstanding. I was not physically hit or harmed by the defendant. I I was more "freaked out" by what happened more than anything. As I was having an anxiety attack and couldn't gain composure a witness was involved that has ill feelings towards the defendant and rambled off a lot of random stuff to the police that had nothing to do with the events of the day in question. After this day I spoke with him and came to the understanding of what led up to the incident was a total misunderstanding on my part. I did not press charges. I stated several times I didn't want anyone to be arrested. I wasn't assaulted by him or his vehicle. This is why I don't want to have anything to do with this case. How can it be dismissed or that specific charge be dropped?
