Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania
Disorderly and Assault
my boyfriend and i are regulars at a
local bar. on tuesday night there was
another couple in the bar that
started an altercation over a game of
pool, the guy kicked me and the girl
slapped me in the face. the bouncers
broke it up and told the guy not to
lay his hands on a girl. when we
were leaving the bar the couple
began another altercation outside
resulting in both of them grabing
me, i pulled my arm away from the
girl and hit the guy to get him off of
me, he kept saying ''i'll kill you if you
lay a hand on her'' she and i then
began fist fighting and the guy
struck me over the head with a pool
stick at that time my boyfriend went
after him and beat him up. The
police met us at the hospital the guy
needed stitches and i had my scalp
glued back together and suffered a
concusion. The officers never took a
statement from me but charged me
for disorderly conduct in the bar
resulting in an assault outside. The
police will not release the incident
report to me and the detective told
us that since we are friends with the
establishment he is finding it hard to
believe what really happened. why
have they not arrested this guy?

Re: Disorderly and Assault
Like the detective said may be the police just do not believe you. You could hire an attorney and pursue the couple in civil court.
