Domestic Violence: Who Gets Arrested?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Most people wrongly assume that the man is always the party who is arrested in the case of a domestic violence call. However, it is the actual aggressor (the ones who makes the assault) who is arrested and taken to jail for a domestic violence charge, regardless of gender. Of course, the responding officers on the scene will use their professional discretion to determine if only one person is the aggressor, or if both are. In all cases of a domestic violence call, both parties are forced to separate for the day via police escort. Sometimes, this means that one party is arrested and taken to jail. \u00a0See our blog, “Can I Bail My Husband Out of Jail on a Domestic Violence Charge?<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n A person can be charged with either a misdemeanor or felony after being arrested for domestic violence. Domestic violence charges range from Class A misdemeanors to Level 2 felonies. The type of charge will depend on a person\u2019s criminal history, severity of the victim\u2019s injuries, applicable enhancements, and several other mitigating factors. See Indiana Code, Title 35, Article 42, Chapter 2, Section 35-42-2-1.3<\/a> (Domestic Battery).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the 8th<\/sup> Amendment in the Bill of Rights gives\nUnited States citizens certain rights surrounding bail, it is possible for bail\nto be denied, especially when violence is involved. Because the crime of\ndomestic violence is a violent crime, a judge might interpret a person to be a threat\nto themselves or others while out on bail. For this reason, the judge might decide\nto revoke bail rights, and require a defendant to stay incarcerated until their\ntrial. If this happens, you cannot post your bail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If a person who does not have a history of violence or crime is arrested on a more minor domestic violence charge, a judge will likely stick with the Indiana bail schedule, and set their bail accordingly. See our blog, \u201cLocal County Bail Bond Schedules for Indianapolis<\/a>\u201d to learn how much bail is generally set for Class A misdemeanors, up to Level 2 Felonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you or someone you love is being victimized by domestic abuse, please visit the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence Website<\/a> for information on programs and services in your area.
