Re: so i slapped him no big deal rite? WRONG

I'm sorry to hear you got yourself into this difficult position. Unfortunately, you will probably need to pay the doctor bill. Yes, your statements can be used against you. The officer probably told you that anything you say can and will be used against you. The maximum you can get for this is one year in jail and a $5000 fine. Although with no history you are not likely to get either. If you are in the Seattle/Tacoma area I can handle the matter for you for $1000.
