More details to this question:
He has a history of drinking and rehab and I have ever been in trouble, work two jobs and go to school full time. I don't understand why I was arrested for defending myself from him.

Self defense can legitimize your touching of him so that it is not a crime. We all have the right to defend ourselves. The prosecution does not always inform you of these rights. Speak to a qualified criminal defense attorney to see if you can use self defense to win your case.
