Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

help

my girlfreinds mother recently filed a charge of terrorist threats as well as battery against me. Now, when the cops were on the way, I left because I hadnt done either of these crimes.For three days now I havent gone home because the cop needs to file his report and would like an arrest to go with it.He called me today and tried to lure me back home,I told him my attorney advised no comment, so he is now filing the report with just that.Ive spoke with girlfreind , she said her mom will not go to court and testify no matter what, and my girl isnt pressing charges because i never did batter her. There is one bad point to this, I have been convicted of pc422 five years ago but since then it has been dropped to a misdemeanor because I pleased the court by completeing everything they asked, they also dropped my strike, other than this I have NO criminal record.How long before I can find out if the DA is going to file or if I have to watch over my back for this cop every day. can he arrest me even though I havent done either of these crimes. any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: help

You can, and likely will, be arrested, or at least a warrant will be out for you. The best way to deal with this is to hire counsel to contact the police and DA now. IF they can be convinced not to file, then it is money well spent. If they do file, the women can be subpeoned to court to testify under threat of contempt. However, if your attorney can convince the DA they refuse to testify and want the charges dropped, there is a chance of avoiding this case. Feel free to contact me if interested in doing it right.
