If two people press different charges against each other, in court will both charges be dropped?

I was assaulted by a female and she initiated the fight, I fought back because it’s self defense and I have it on video. The next day someone popped the tires on her car and she’s accusing me of doing it but, she doesn’t have any evidence. Can she press charges on me? She’s trying to make me pay for the tires but, I didn’t do it. She wants to press vandalism charges and I want to press assault charges.

Traffic Lawyer Richard Simon’s Answer

No, both charges will be pressed, they do not cross each other out.

Speeding Ticket KC

Ready to clean up your Missouri driving record?

We serve drivers across the entire KC metro — Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, and Johnson counties. You do not need to appear in court or visit the DOR in person. We handle everything remotely.

Call (816) 398-8772 or use the contact form on this page for a free consultation. We will review your full driving record, tell you exactly what can be removed, and give you a flat-fee quote before you decide anything.

If your ticket is recent and you have not yet been convicted, we may be able to fight it in court before it ever reaches your record — which is always the better outcome when that option is still available.

Driving Record Analysis

We pull your Missouri driving record and review it in detail, noting any suspended license issues, outstanding tickets, or points that may be eligible for removal. We send you a copy of the record with analysis of what is on it.

Ticket Removal & Purge

We have the original ticket set aside by the court and amended to a non-moving violation. For older tickets (3+ years), we contact the Department of Revenue and have them purged from your record.
