Problem is in the US cops don't need a lot of prove.
It is enough when the woman has a bruice on her arm.
In my country (on the second or third call) they probably give a restrain order to the guy (he need to stay with friends or family) and keep both parties away from eachother. Then in the next days they investigate the situation. IF they find prove then he or she will have to go to court.
And almost never he or she will go to prison for such a stupid offense. In most cases the day after they make up with eachother and that was it ...
O well ...
