can you file a police report for an assault without pressing charges?

I got into a fight on the road one time, full on, middle of the road fist fight. Public broke it up, but called the cops. The cops came and got me at work, took me in, took a statement and asked if I wanted to press charges. I said "no", and the cop said "well neither does he"...and gave us both a warning.

I'm gonna call BS on this story.

Nobody picks a fight with this beast and certainly nobody would give you a warning.

I hope she burns in hell. No one messes with the girl of the guy who did my drywall.



(figuratively speaking and not serious)

I'm pretty sure you no longer have the option of "deciding" if charges are pressed once you file a complaint. If they warrant it a chargeable offence it's now out of your hands/control.

Phil?

Correct. We decide who gets charged, but if we think we won't have cooperation from the victim, we will likely decline to proceed on a common assault. Easy peezy.

Spikers and Baygurl, you guys handled this perfectly in all aspects.

Here's to hoping this is the last of it.

It's not. I have been notified that the investigating officer has involved child protective services unrelated to this event. The officer told me to get a copy of her report ASAP but now that I am trying I am running into road blocks everywhere. I am supposed to bring my daughter back tomorrow for the exchange, but now I don't know what to do. I don't know why CPS is visiting her house or what the issue is.

My anxiety level is through the roof!

I wish I had more to offer but legally I just don't know enough to help.

Perhaps pursuing FOIP and getting all info you're allowed.

Yeah. That's where I am at now. In all my phone calls around, none of the services can sat anything, and they sympathize with me, but still can't give me any information. However none of them are conveying a sense of urgency, nor I have I been contacted directly thus far. Because of this, I am of the miND that it is not that serious. As such I don't think I will peruse anything further, unless something changes between now and tomorrow afternoon.

One thing I am insisting on from this incident, is that all transfers will now happen at a police station parking lot.

My bet is the officer saw a bunch of drugs on the counter or something and issued an investigation. If she was lying about something towards you (which wouldn't surprise me she seems like a real winner) the officer would personally visit you..? I dunno. Trying to cool ur anxiety.
