My sister's boyfriend was arrested Thursday night and charged with 3rd degree domestic violence (for hitting her), child abuse (because her daughter witnessed the incident) and assault. He is up for a bail hearing on Wednesday (because of the holiday) and I would like to know if there is a way we, as my sister's family, could get him to remain in jail until his court date in August because he is a meth addict, a danger to my sister and her daughter. My sister doesn't want him to stay in jail and wants to get the restraining order lifted so this guy can come back home to her, she doesn't believe he is a threat but acknowledges he is in meth and pot. Can I get a lawyer or should I contact the arresting officier and try to see how it would be possible for this guy to be kept in jail (or have a $10,000 or so bond that no one could afford to bail him out) or would anything I even do help?
