More details to this question:
My husband and I are on vacation in Montgomery county, we started having a fight and I was getting ready to leave. He was mad because I said I would leave him there and he doesnt have a ride back home. He took my bag and threw all my stuff out and we had some bodily contact for a brief moment. I called 911 then hung up and left. I went back to get my computer when the cops came and took both our statements. I got a ticket for assault by contact, but he didnt and he said he didnt press charges. I told them initially that I didnt want to press charges. What do I do now, since I dont live here and I dont want this on my record because of the profession I'm getting in.

Hire an attorney. A good attorney in Montgomery County will make this go away. But you'll most likely have to come back in town for Court for anything Class B or A misdemeanor.

If convicted, even on this low charge, a future similar charge would be a felony.
