Even if you both dropped the charges, the State can still file charges for assault, or as in this case, disorderly conduct. You should contact a local attorney and discuss this case. Self defense may be a defense for an assault, but may or may not be a defense for disorderly conduct. Contact a local attorney to discuss your possible defenses.
