More details to this question:
On February 14, 2014, my husband and I had an altercation which escalated into domestic violence. I went to the precinct to write report and an order is currently out for his arrest.
You cannot drop the charges. The DA will decide how it wants to proceed. There are things you can do. I suggest you retain a good criminal defense lawyer for your husband.
