Roommate Fight Case

[Paulito]

Jurisdiction

Michigan

Here's what happened. My roommate got into my girlfriend's face and was cussing her out, so she felt threatened and came up to tell me. I came downstairs to ask him if he got in her face, and then he said yea i was cussing her out and then pushed me. So I pushed back then he tackled me to the stairs and was on top of me. I have scratches all over me, had to get a tetna shot and my ankle was messed up. I also had a huge hole in the sweatshirt I was wearing. My girlfriend also had a severely bruised shoulder and has a sling, because he was pushing her trying to get to me. . Then I called the cops. The cops told me that since it was a domestic situation that both of us were getting charged and its up to the prosecutor. How do you think this thing would possibly pan out. Only injury he had was a small scratch by his eye. His story was that I attacked him first, and that me and my girlfriend jumped him. Me and my girlfriend have the exact same story. My roommate also had to call the cops on him shortly after I left because he threw my friends stuff around

That would be up to the court to decide. You can talk to a lawyer.

I don't know how your story will end, but most of these stories end with ALL PARTIES getting charged, convicted, sentenced to pay hefty fines, community service, ordered to make restitution for medical costs, probation, and a one or two year NO CONTACT order!!!!

The moral to these stories goes like this: NEVER try to use self help remedies.

If this ever happens again, call "911" and don't engage the perpetrator.

Had you and your friend called "911" and stepped outside until the police arrived, the perpetrator would be the ONLY one in trouble.
