Is it common for police reports to change 3 years after incidents? I’m asking out of ignorance. If I obtained a police report, I would never think it was inaccurate, but that’s so out of the realm of my daily life that I’m not sure what’s common and uncommon.
on the police report, i've now seen 3 different copies.
the original, with hand written notes on it (posted here on last page), with the arrest box check, with domestic violence/felonious assault listed as offenses.
one supposedly updated about a week after original, with the arrest box unchecked, invest pending box checked, but also some differences in the offenses listed (disorderly conduct/aggravated menacing)
and a third, updated in 2018, arrest box unchecked, no invest pending box checked, and offenses changed back to dv/fa.
speculating a bit here, but is it not possible that originally they marked for arrest, then changed it to investigate (maybe when she decided not to press charges? or on flip side maybe some flaws in her story appeared?) they also think they might can change charges to get more likely chance of charges/conviction? after investigating a little more, decide they can't (or she just won't charge and/or is big flaws in her story?) and drop it. only to update it finally when it all hits news?
