I was arrested on Wednesday afternoon, got to the police station at 3pm. The PC who took me in said they weren't busy and I "definitely" wouldn't be held overnight (I was worried as I've been arrested before and was kept in the cell for 23 hours). He said the only reasons they keep you in overnight is if one of the parties involved is drunk or unavailable for statement taking; or if it was late at night for example, 4am. None of these applied and the PC's colleague was actually taking my ex's (who reported me) statement as I was being driven to the police station (30 minutes drive), so why did I not get interviewed until 7.30 pm, then held overnight?! The sergeant informed me just before my interview that they'd also be arresting me for another offence (which I didn't even commit!) and she was authorising my detention overnight, to appear in court the following morning. Finally got let out at 2pm the next day.
