Re: domestic dispute

There is no way that you can personally "drop" the charges. The state of TN is the plaintiff, not you. You are considered to be the victim. If what you are saying is the truth, the only way that you can help is to talk to the DA's office (either before or during court), tell your version of the story and they will consider dropping the charges if they believe those facts.
