Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
Back in December I went to go visit my fiance who is apart of the USAF and stationed at Langley AFB in Virginia. One of my last nights there he had been drinking and sparked an argument. The argument escalated into a screaming match where I ended up slapping him because I was offended by the things that he had said to me. The cops were called and we both ended up getting arrested and charged with simple assault.Neither one of us made a statement and neither one of us pressed charges. I have never gotten into trouble like this before and am scared to death. My question is what the likely outcome of this will be and if I should get a lawyer. I'm thinking about pleading not guilty but am unsure if thats the best thing to do. Please help and thank you in advance.
