In almost every case, where someone calls 911 to report a domestic violence incident someone is going to go to jail.
It doesn't matter if the person that called doesn't want the person arrested, it doesn't matter if there are no injuries or other corroborating evidence, it doesn't matter if it was self-defense or you were trying to protect the person from harming themselves or driving drunk.
Once the police arrive they make a determination who they think the aggressor was and make an arrest based on that analysis.

Domestic violence cases are different than other types of criminal cases because most courts have adopted specialized procedures for handling DV cases including the use of special court calendars and holding periodic review hearings with offenders.
Additionally, a person charged with a DV offense must appear in person for their arraignment and at sentencing even in misdemeanor cases so that the court can deal with the issue of bail, criminal protective orders (CPO), and restitution.
The arraignment is the first time you appear in court.

If you are arrested for a DV case, you may have to post a bond before you are released from jail.
Bail amounts can vary depending on the county in which you are arrested.
Most counties require some amount of bail on a DV case.
On misdemeanor DV charges, bail ranges from $5000 to $10,000 dollars.
In felony cases, bail ranges from $50,000 to $100,000.
If serious bodily injury, weapons, or prior DV related convictions are involved bail can increase significantly.
In some cases, the prosecutor may ask for an increase in bail at the arraignment especially in cases where there are significant injuries, the defendant has DV priors, or the victim fears the defendant.
