Legal Question in Criminal Law in Connecticut

who has the right to press charges?

I called a cat shelter and got into a

fight with the lady who answered. I

left a rude msg on her answering

machine because she hung up on me

and got arrested for harrassment and

disorderly conduct because she

personally filed a complaint. Can she

press charges or does the shelter

have to seeing as that's the number

I was calling? Could this be

dismissed in court because she is

personally pursuing me?
