Re: Domestic Violence

If the police find any evidence of domestic violence, an arrest usually follows.

All it takes is "X hit (or tried or threatened to hit) Y" no matter how slight the injury. If Y calls 911 and says on the phone that X did this, X is arrested. The police do not determine who is telling the truth.
