As stated before, I had some neighbors call in a DV call that sounded pretty serious to the police, and nothing happened after they found out what was going on... So... what's the deal?
No, someone doesn't have to be arrested unless there's probable cause to believe a crime was committed. It happens all the time where cops are called because of load noise, screaming, etc...and people are just goofing around or it was just an argument. It's not illegal to argue with your wife/girlfriend...yet.
