Domestic Violence is a Serious Charge

The State of Washington has a broad definition of what domestic violence is, and it includes physical harm, bodily injury, assault, or the infliction of fear of imminent physical harm, bodily injury or assault, between family members or household members. It also includes sexual assault of one family or household member by another or stalking of one family member or household member by another family or household member.

Washington also has a mandatory arrest policy, meaning the law requires a police officer responding to a domestic violence incident to make an arrest if the officer has probable cause to believe that a domestic violence office was committed within four hours prior. It’s likely that if you are arrested on a domestic violence charge, you will be held in jail until you appear before a judge, which often happens the following day.
