Can you go to jail if some one presses charges against you?

Of course you could go to jail depending upon the charges against you. Why would you think you wouldn't?

Hi, jcevans11!

Normally, there would need to be a warrant issued for the arrest of a person in order for them to go to jail, but not in all cases though. Also, whether a person spends an amount of time behind bars, beyond that of the usual booking procedure, can depend on a number of factors, like being able to and posting bail, agreements in court before a magistrate as to maybe someone being allowed to go free on their own recognizance and some other factors.

This is a complicated issue though, where there isn't a cut and dried answer, and I'm sure that there will be others who'll come along to address your question.

Is there a particular reason that you're asking about this, please?

Thanks!

How someone presses charges vary from state to state, in some areas they will have to file a report to the DA, in others if the DA does not act, they can file their own complaint in court to prove there is enough evidence of a crime.

But yes, if the crime is seroius enough you can go to jail if someone presses charges
