Why was she arrested if her husband protested it?
If he didn't press charges, why arrest her?
Strange.

Because cops have to justify their jobs.

Some States claim to be the victim in abuse and press charges even if the actual victim declines. I believe that Colorado is one of them.

"Strange."
I don't know about Florida, but in some states
(such as Nevada as I understand), once the
police are called in a domestic dispute,
some one HAS to go to jail--regardless of the
feelings or statements of the spouse. The measure
is to keep the abusing spouse from taking his or
her spouse away from the police line-of-sight and
killing him or her because of anger or embarrassment
