Re: Assult charges

The person who claimed to have been the victim of an assault can call the local prosecutor(assistant commonwealth's attorney)assigned to the case and explain why she would like the prosecutor's office to drop the charges.

Whether in fact they do so, will be up to them (and not the police department)and not the person who initially made the complaint and now wishes that it would all go away.
