No. You should hire an experienced criminal attorney to defend you. Read more at

Insistence on your story that "I pushed past my husband after an argument" Is not going to be acceptable to a Judge. Usually the police report will inform the judge of enough facts to support a plea of no contest under MCLA 769.4a, but often it is not as no contest pleas are not allowed by the statute. But it can be done.
At least get a court appointed attorney and rethink your story before you speak with her. Under 769.4a, your charge can be taken under advisement for a year and then dismissed if you have no further troubles with the law - which is a probability if your husband was the one who called the police. If alcohol was involved, you may have to abstain from booze during your probation.
Section 769.4a
