It is very difficult to answer your question from the facts that you have written. Your husband may be charged with a range of offenses from assault to battery to aggravated battery to a police officer. You stated that "they are keeping him" so I presume that he is in custody.
Your husband, especially since he has a prior criminal record, needs the benefit of an experienced criminal defense attorney. I suggest that you contact an attorney who can best explain the charges that have been lodged against him and the possible penalties.
