More details to this question:
My boyfriend got arrested last night for a domestic dispute. I informed officers I did not want to press charges and did not want him arrested. Law enforcement did not comply. Was informed that it would be a misdemeanor battery charge and that due to that I did not pressing charges, that he should receive bail. Is this accurate? It is his first offense, he has no prior record. If he receives a sentence, how long will it be?
