I was at my friends house and we got into an argument. He swung a bat at me and I had to defend myself so I hit him and left. The kid is now trying to say I burglarized him and assaulted him what do I do?

Re: hear say
It sounds like you have a viable defense being self defense. Because you were a guest in someone elses home and the potential criminal charge, i recommend contacting a attorney for a more detailed evaluation.

You may want to consult with a lawyer, particularly if your friend has made a complaint to the police. If a complaint is filed with the police, it is generally sent to the State Attorney's office to make a decision as to whether to file charges or not.
