Re: What would you do if your wife got you arrested…
I will try to give more details, the husband was not even at home when he was charged the venting was done over the phone so no chance of physical contact, In many states and Canada police are mandated to lay charges every time a call is made, please note for victim protection the victim does not lay charges, the police does, the victim cannot recant the statement. She called the police, police told her that they will lay charges, she told them that she does not want to lay charges, but once the police is called you cannot withdraw the complaint. My friend is an accomplished executive and knows the system, he did not resist the police, actually the wife made a lot of drama and was protesting his arrest, he police threatened to arrest her if she did not calm down, she ran to the station and told the captain that she was tricked into incriminating him, but in these situation the police cant withdraw charges, you have to go thru bail hearings, he was bailed in 24 hrs, with a court date of one month, during this time he was not allowed to go back home, call, text or email the wife and children, I was the messenger b/w them, after one month he got court date where he was charged, they sat in court holding hands, the judge remarked to crown that she does not see scared of him and allowed him to go back home, he had to appear in court 1yr later, condition of bail was mandatory counselling. One year later Crown dropped the case,they investigated neighbors, doctors ect and could no find evidence.I will post relevant laws later,
