On *-* my son got into a verbal argument with someone at a gas station. He left the lady called the police saying he kicked her and wanted to press charges. There was no video evidence and * conflicting witness statements. The owner gave the police his father’s name and number cause they worked there. They never came and spoke with him or called. She started stalking and harassing us and won’t let it go. Yesterday the police called after almost 4 months and wants them to come in and fill out a statement cause they said she was wanting to press charges again. The situation just don’t fill right to me and we live in a corrupt little village so I want to know if they have to give statements or what could happen
