Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Charges pressed against me when I called police.

My girlfriend called me at work 3 times because she wanted to talk to me. I told her I couldn't and would have to talk to her later that evening. She started yelling at me and I hung up the phone. She arrived about 5 minutes later at my office extremely upset. She was screaming at me, knocked everything off my desk, threw a bottle of juice across my office and wouldn't leave after I told her numerous times. She started running out to my car, and I had my co worker call the police because she threatened to slash my tires two nights before. I followed her out there as she was pulling some cds and paper work out of my glove box. I tried to grab them from her and she tried to run away. I grabbed her as she started to run, used her own momentum, and brought her to her knees, which caused scrapes on her knees. I would let her get up until she would calm down, which she then threw my cds through a parking lot. I let her up and she got into my car and refused to get out. The police show up and I tell them what happened, my co-worker does, and so does my girlfriend. I'm now being charged with felony domestic violence. I did nothing in anger, only tried to restrain her. What would the possiblilty of this getting thown out be?
