Houma, LA asked in Criminal Law for Louisiana

Q: iI was trying to retrieve my belongings from an ex, and they instead incited an assult to happen. can they be charged?

I've contacted him countless of times to retrieve my belongings and he refused to respond.

went to a bar and he just so happened to be there, I messaged him letting him know again that I would like to get my things and that I would wait in the parking lot by my vehicle to speak more on the matter.

he then proceeded to get 2 girls to walk him to his vehicle which one of them then physically attacked me.

I've contacted law enforcement but, they were acting weird once I gave them my information..I have a warrant for previous aggravated assault due to the same ex verbally provoking violence..

Im a bit fearful and dont know what steps to take to address the matter.
