I was recently contacted by a detecitive and told I need to come into the police department for a contact assault from an incident that happened end of March.
Back to March:
A person(we will call her the girl) and I got into a heated argument, while holding her child she pushed me and I pushed her back. After that I walked away and told her sister what happened. The girl and I, once again, got into an argument that led to us pushing each other and falling to the ground. The girl hit her head on the way down and ended up blacking out and getting a contusion on the back if her head. The police and an ambulance came, the police there questioned me and the sister about what happened and we told them. The police officers there said they are calling in a mutual combat bc she and I both engaged in the fight.
I thought this was the end of it until Tuesday a detective called me saying Brittany was pursuing charges and after reviewing case and citation he is issuing me a citation for "conduct assault"
He is saying the sister of the girl is now saying I came up to her and only said that I pushed the girl and not that she pushed me first and I pushed back in the first initial contact. The fact that WE fell and she hit her head has never been brought up.
My question is,
Should I go to police station to get citation, like the detective asked? While there should I file a complaint about her? What's the next step here?
