2nd Degree Assault
If you and your girlfriend live in Maryland and traveled in Virginia for the weekend, and got in a fight with your girl friend.
say you get in an arguement, she hits you and you hit her elbow. Now she gets a small bruise.
Now you travel back into Md and she presses assault charges on herboyfriend at
a Montgomery County court in Maryland.
When you get the warrant for your arrest, you should be able to have the case sreened by a states attorney to get the charges dropped
due to Montgomery County has no juridiction, correct?
That person, the girlfriend, should go into Virginia and file charges with THAT county government, is this correct??
