In my youth, I've had multiple parking lot fist fights. I was arrested on one, cited on 2, and charges dropped on all because the 'victims' never showed up. They were misdemeanor charges. If a weapon or alcohol/drugs are involved, it can up the charges, but either way, will definitely mean a trip downtown. My advice...don't stick around. Let the police come find you. You're under no obligation to sit and wait for them, and then just remain silent. Courts have much bigger fish to fry than some bruised egos having a throwdown.
