More details to this question:
Had locked my gf out of the house, we were both drunk. Police came and I became belligerent. I was arrested. At the station the magistrate read the charges; I was floored. My gf and father bailed me out. She claims she never told the police that I was holding her against her will or assaulted her. The judge threw the case out because my gf never responded to he summons. Her and I still speak to this day.

If the charge was disposed of by a not guilty finding or a motion nolle prosequi, it is eligible for an expungement. Expungement is a civil filing that you must proactively act to file. It does not happen automatically or by right. If you were found guilty of anything, those matters are not eligible for expungement.
