Re: criminal law
Discretion to prosecute is with the DAs office. The sheriff's office does an initial investigation and submits a report to the DA who decides whether to prosecute and the charges.
The fact you have witnesses that dispute the alleged victims version of events is a matter of credibility for trial.
