Re: false dv police report
That depends on the particulars of your situation. If you actually made a declaration under penalty of perjury than you can be charged with perjury, a class c felony, up to five years in prison but there is no minimum. Otherwise, you are likely just guilty of obstruction which is a gross misdemeanor, up to one year in jail but again no minimum. Contact me directly so we can prevent you from getting charged with anything.
