|
|

New Public Charge Policy Officially Announced

Facing Criminal Charges for Domestic Violence
|
|
|
In the heat of the moment, anyone can make mistakes. When an argument with a loved one gets out of hand, flared tempers and the activation of fight or flight instincts can kick in. Sometimes the result is an incident of domestic violence. If the incident is loud, it’s very likely that someone not involved will contact the police. When the police arrive, they will investigate the situation and could possibly place any aggressor under arrest. Arrested individuals will be taken to jail and will be processed by the justice system.
