How do I drop charges if I no longer want to press charges.?
My son 33 became argumentative and police were called. He was arrested and taken to jail over night. His father and I got a exparte and was served to him in jail. he was living with us at the time. now we would like to drop the charges of domestic violence. as no one was hurt. he no longer lives with us..

You cannot decide to drop the charges: that is a decision for the prosecutor. If you feel that there is a good reason for dropping the charge, you are free to call the prosecutor and ask them. Keep in mind that, if your son is asking you to drop charges, that could be defined as Tampering With a Witness, another crime.
