Most places when a woman calls the police and alleges domestic violence the husband/boyfriend goes to jail for 24 hours whether he has done anything or not.
Not saying it's right or wrong, but the police cannot be a judge and jury at the scene and feel they must take the guy to jail just in case.
Do you know that if a gun is involved in any way, (even if he uses the word "gun" when threatening) and he is convicted of a "misdemeanor domestic" crime, that he is prohibited from buying, owning, or possessing a gun or ammo under federal law for the rest of his life?
Hi Mike - you still leading the cheering section for Black Angus?
As for domestic violence - your comment is true. One night in a hotel - prepping for man's night out and a good old fashioned poker game, the cops broke into our room and took a friend off to jail.
Reason? Accused of beating his wife plus uttering death threats - time of the offense? About 30 minutes prior to the time the police broke into our game. He had been there for about 4 hours at that time. No amount of talking would change the mind of the female cop - we almost had the male cop convinced to let buddy stay. Lady cop would not budge - so off to jail he went.
They now reside in separate houses. Him in a small rented model and her in a fully paid for 5 bedroom 4 bath house in a rather nice section of town - with one female kid about 16. She drives a nice car and he takes the bus.
