Ok as I was telling u last night the police came and arrested me for domestic abuse due to a fraudulent call by someone stating they was someone they wasn’t. They kept asking my partner and I what had happened but they wanted one of us to say there had been a domestic dispute but there had not and we kept telling them this. They said Steve brown had reported this. Steve brown is my partners cousin who doesn’t even live around here and we knew had not made any call of such nature. When the police pulled up I was inside and my partner was working on the garage door. They immediately asked if I lived her and wanted me to come outside and would not tell my partner why. I had to get dressed. I went outside they then told us why they was there was due to a domestic disturbance call. My partner and I both tried to tell them there was no dispute but they insisted one if not both of us was going to jail because someone supposedly has to go to jail on a report of a domestic. My partner asked to step inside and grab his phone to call his cousin and verify to them he made no call and someone was lying. They then sperated us and told my partner repeatedly I was already going to jail
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Can you please provide your location (city and state)? This information will help me give you more specific legal guidance.
and that he would be to if he didn’t tell them something. My partner not wanting to go to jail lied and told them what they wanted to here he made up a story that we was fighting about bills. He said he didn’t want to press charges but I was arrested anyhow. I feel there approach to this was wrong can u show me a template telling my partner what’s to say in a report to recant his statement and admit he lied to avoid going to jail.
I understand the urgency of your situation. Below is a template your partner can use to recant his previous statement:
