Hello,
I was involved with a dispute with my partner recently.
Basically we have a long history and have been separated for 8 months. She came to my house with my 3 children one night. After the children were asleep we started to argue about money. She has got into a lot of financial trouble in the last 8 months and was blaming me. I took offense to this and explained that she has recieved her £500 maintenance every month, and cant balme me for her mess. She then went to bed in a huff. I pondered the situation and decided to try and resolve the issue. I asked her to come back down and sort this out as it was silly. She then became very insulting, and I went face to face with her telling her to take the insults back. She wouldn't and said she was phoning the police?!?!? I said what for - dont be silly etc. As we were both walking down the stairs I held her arm firmly and said dont do this its crazy. She ran out of the house. I closed the open door and she then rung the bell wanting to come back in. I told her no. An hour later the police arrive and question me. A WPC asks me to confirm if I grabbed her arm or not. I said I did - then she began to arrest me under section 39 (common assault).
I said this doesnt need to be happening and I'd assist them in the morning. Two more police entered the property I was angry at this and asked who invited them in etc. I was bustled into my hall at this time and was reluctantly hadcuffed. My daughters (5 and 3) witnessed this as they were crying on the stairs. When applying the handcuffs I was in pain - and my youngest daughter cried 'daddy', 'daddy'. The red mist decended and I headbutted one of the the policeman. I was then arrested again under section 89(1). I had 6 glasses of red wine and my partner 4 glasses on the night in question.Also we both have cautions against one another due to an incident 6 months ago. She hit me on that occation but during the melee she fell over - and I got cautioned for that?
I have no other record at all. Am a proffessional man in a position of authority. Own house etc.
Can you tell me if I can expect a custodial sentance?
I explained all above under interview. And the CPS wish to press charges.
Many thanks in advance.
