Law enforcement officer arrested for battery 242

Asked in Los Angeles, CA - over 3 years

I was arrested for a battery 242 (misdomeaner) by a sibling. The incident was a "shoulder bump" in passing each other (long family fued with this person) I also had her arrested for the same charges. We also each have a temp. restraining order against one another. As I am in law enforcement and military, a restraining order will end both careers for me. Is the D.A. likely to go forward with the case against me?

Answered over 3 years ago. It seems to me much more likely that this case will be brought, if at all, by the City Attorney given the lack of injury in the touching. The city attorney has a process of an informal hearing where they bring you in and see if they can resolve these kinds of cases without going forward.

If they do decide to go forward with this case, then you need to fight it to preserve your job and military career.
