Ex-girlfriend Got Arrested For Domestic Abuse. During Her Arrest She Mentioned I Had "texted My Drug Dealer." Should I Be Concerned?

Card image cap

Recently, my ex-girlfriend and I had been arguing for a while, but it came to a boiling point when she went through my phone and believed (mistakenly) that I had been cheating on her, and saw that a known drug-dealer had texted me. In public, she began throwing things and hitting me, to which multiple people (apparently 8 separate calls were made) called the police. We are both under 21, but above 18. This occurred in Mecklenburg county, NC.

Ultimately, she was arrested for domestic violence and we obviously no longer have any contact. I had no idea what she told the police, but I told the truth, but stressed I didn't want to press charges (although I know that's not how that works). We both go to the same small university which I assume is difficult for BOTH me and her, and to be honest, I'm still a little in shock.

Tonight, I read the arrest summary that was available online. I am concerned because the description read that "[she] did slap [me] due to her becoming upset over a verbal argument that had started over [me] cheating on her and texting his drug dealer." Should I be concerned about an investigation opening or the possibility of me facing legal action?

Here are some other possibly relevant information, although I apologize for the already lengthy post and lack of legal knowledge.

  • The drug dealer did text me, but I had intentionally not responded as I decided to try to get sober again, and to go NA. However, there were previous transactions made with him in the past.
  • I heard from a mutual friend that she took a pre-trial thing to avoid paying a $5000 bond, and I believe her trial is set for later this summer.
  • I do not know how she feels about me now. I do not know if she hates me or what she said.
  • I'm not well versed at all legally or criminally, and I'm not sure how the interview/trial/court process will work for her.

Thank you so much for taking the time. Appreciate you all <3
