Once you arrive at a scene (most agencies require two officers for these types of calls) of a suggested domestic violence call, you attempt to make contact with the reporting party. The person who called in to report the occurrence.
You would collect their statements as to establish exactly what was going on.
Next you make contact with the involved parties separately, or you would separate them.
You talk to them and get their side of what has happened.
You would look for obvious signs of injury/bruising in the areas the victim says they were struck/choked/scratched or other.
Absence of signs of physical contact, an arrest or not, would be based on statements collected from all parties involved and witness observations.
It is reasonable to believe the an arrest was made, was due to the aggressor admitting they did strike/choke the victim. Very common you would get this admitted. Another reason to establish a charge and arrest could also be a direct witness to the actual punching/choking, independent of the aggressor admitting to it.
If the aggressor was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DV, he would be transported to jail and booked into the facility.
Normally, you wouldn't base an arrest for DV without traumatic injury/bruising, and only on a victims statements. Arresting someone is quite involved.
Most agencies will have a defined structure/investigation methods on calls of DV. You have to, the risk of not doing enough is significant.
It is reasonable to believe Jason made statements admitting to the physical contact with the victim/wife. Further made more credible with his own response to this debacle.
I am not sure, but the report posted in another thread may just be a summary report, There could be a more complete one that the summary was created from.
It is interesting how many members here do not want to believe what occurred. These are everyday occurrence's in LE. Depending on city size, you would have multiple calls regarding possible DV. Outside vehicle stops, this and individuals involved in fights, has to be the most common.
Do a word search for frequency of domestic violence calls for your city. Mine?
Weekly Average: For the first quarter of 2025, there was an average of 156 domestic violence reports per week county-wide. If you average out that per day, 22 each day.
I want to be clear, my opinion of what occurred should not be interpreted as establishing an overall opinion of Jason. I have enjoyed watching his performances throughout the years. I am only discussing this one event and nothing beyond that.
Completely detached from the situation- I was hoping we'd see JA21 and Deegan banging bars this season. He had a few good battles with Hunter to kick off the year.
Yes,....Accusations alone are a dime a dozen and are as worthless as tits on a bull to anyone with good sense.
If he got a problem with side chicks, Davalos can always make a spot for him on QuadLock Honda and show him how to Dong Offer like a pro.

"Everyone has an opinion"
The problem is that an opinion is what you have based on your thoughts about a situation with all the evidence played out before you.
What we are seeing are not opinions, it is fabrications. But I digress
Let's see, a team sponsor someone accused or charged with beating his spouse. Pretty much anytime that happens in a publicly involved person they get hammered. So a multi million dollar manufacturer is going to risk protest by women's groups and others to have a guy that runs 8th in a race? This is not the 70's. sure the homer media will not say anything but I would guess the AMA would. MLB suspends you for a year for this stuff. He is not good enough anymore to warrant a second chance. IMO he is done
"a second chance"
What has he been trialed and convicted of doing wrong to need a second chance ?
Don't you guys think Anderson is the type of guy that would come out and say, “fuck that, I didn’t do shit. I’m going to keep racing.” if he didn’t do anything wrong? If there’s no charges, he probably doesn’t have a lawyer advising him on what to do or say to protect himself legally. So to me, him coming out and saying he’s taking accountability for his actions and stepping away from racing is pretty telling.
Yes. In so many words.
🤣 "...risk protest by women's groups..."
Indeed. El Homebray's statement is ambiguously worded on purpose. But I find it difficult to believe by 'actions' he'd just be referring to banging other broads during his overseas jaunts, or smoking weed, or having some sort of reefer madness from smoking the weed (these last two are theories provided by V'Tards).
So, we can infer 'actions' means chocking his wife and punching her in the side...
Pretty telling ??
Maybe he loves his family and the incident has caused strain, and at this point, he would rather try to work on restoring things rather than continue to race in a career that he is on the back side of anyway.
Maybe sponsors dont want the heat and gave him the forced option to resign.
I could keep going. It seems more "telling" to me that the state would drop charges. They do NOT drop charges with evidence of DV.
You see how easy that was to look at it in an entirely different perspective ? Actually, it is a much more plausible perspective.
lady wanted the smoke
"So, we can infer 'actions' means chocking his wife and punching her in the side"
And the state prosecution just willfully dropped charges ??
I had to chock my wife for awhile as she was getting so heavy she would roll off the couch if i didn't
Oh falcon, where art thou? 🙃
He should have handled his disagreement in the old ways….
Throwing the 15-yard BS flag on this one.
The local PA office routinely drops cases with ample probable cause and documentation, for a variety of reasons-uncooperative victims, witnesses going awol, lack of resources, or because whatever the charge is isn’t popular to prosecute that week.
I can even cite cases where they send the case back for further investigation, the LEO does everything requested, then they decline the case anyway.
DV laws allow the state to take the place of the victim in some cases if that victim becomes uncooperative, but it doesn’t mean it happens very often.
I was on a 6 person jury 20 or so years ago where a guy roughed up his girlfriend. Cops showed up and she had marks on her neck and I believe some torn clothing.
Sometime between when she called the cops and the trial she decided she did not want to cooperate with the prosecution.
We found him guilty despite this. The marks on her neck, the clothing, a past DV call on him by this woman, testimony by the arresting officer and....too be honest...he came across as a real piece of shit.

This is an informative article from overseas moto media. It's a shame the US moto 'media' has not bothered to publish something similiar.
https://mxnews-online.com/en/jason-anderson-im-fokus-von-gerichtsakten-…
According to the article the charges were dropped due to the victim filing an Affidavit of Non-Prosecution - meaning she was not going to go ahead with the process.
"On February 9, 2026 the public prosecutor's office announced not to bring charges. The reason given was that there was insufficient usable evidence, particularly because victims or potential witnesses were not cooperating. The proceedings were thus terminated."
Interestingly though - and this is the first time I've heard about this - El Homebray - hired a lawyer and submitted a “Not Guilty” plea and requested access to the investigation files and any potential exculpatory evidence.
Whether this is simply him lying or the truth we can't know - at this stage. I still think it's odd to apologise for 'actions' (which in this context makes one think he means the DV situation) if you are blameless.
If the victim is unwilling to continue with the allegations/statements/charges, then indeed it wouldn’t be prosecuted. Absent of injuries.
She is the one that is considered the victim. Not the State. Her unwillingness to be a witness on her own behalf than what do you have? Nothing. A witness willing to testify outside the victim, could be difficult to prosecute. Her unwillingness occurs in probably most situations alleging DV.
Hopefully, a FOI request for body cam evidence never surfaces. This would accurately reflect what the investigation was.
CTHULHU is the creator of the earth and will help Jason if he has time. Making stuff up like it's fact is fun. 🖤
Came in here to see if the BDB crash out was continuing and all I got was this!
Certainly this happens and the law (in many states) allows it. That said, at least where I’m at, it’s become much less common. Part of it was our illustrious state Supreme Court made ruling(s) making victimless prosecutions more difficult. In some instances this may be a good thing (false accusations, he said she said, etc)…but in true “prisoner of their abuser” DV situations, it is well documented why victims will become uncooperative (and it has nothing to do with a lack of validity of the charge).
The other problem is that our state passed laws without funding (unfortunately common) that required reducing public defender case loads. The money had to come from somewhere, in our county’s case the PA office. The net result is that our county now has a 7:1 public defender to prosecutor ratio…meaning they really have to pick and choose cases to take to trial, inevitably leaving valid cases by the wayside.
A DV charge with any evidence is VIGOROUSLY pursued. Certainly 99.9% of the time.
Why the guessing game anyway ? Why form a negative opinion or express doubts about someone over an accusation at best with charges dropped by the state ?
Why ?
My 23 years of experience in dealing with these matters (at least in my state) completely disagrees with your assertion regarding prosecution rates.
I'm telling you, with absolute certainty, that the state picks up DV cases if a spouse or girlfriend wants to drop charges. They don't need the accuser to pursue it and ultimately, they don't care if the accuser is charging or not when they have any evidence whatsoever.
He'd be crazy not to have an attorney. Guy is likely worth millions with significant assets ( if he played his cards correctly).
After a police report has been filed and the officer notes any evidence,. .The state DA prosecution does not need the accuser or really care. Would they prefer their cooperation ? Yes.
When there is EVIDENCE the state will pick it up and run with it. If there is no evidence and the accuser ("victim") wants to drop charges, sure, they will close the case.
Domestic "issues" are the number one thing that the prosecution wants to actively pursue, unless it is a certain loser.
Someone knows something here.

Apparently no one understands how the law works. You get arrested "on suspicion of <insert crime here>". The State Attorney then determines whether charges are appropriate based on all the information available. If the State Attorney decides to pursue charges, you get arraigned, where you answer those charges, and then the legal process plays out. If the State Attorney declines to pursue charges, the case is documented as closed and you get cut loose.
Once you do get charged with DV in Florida, the State no longer needs a complaining or cooperating victim to proceed.
