Answer 1

Yes,

I agree with Andrea's answer.

Answer 2

In some states, if the officer didn't see the assault all they can do is advise them to a magistrate for assault charges.

Answer 3

absolutely, Tell her to call the D.A.s office, if those idiot cops won't help. If she files a formal complaint they will have to charge him.  Sorry about you're sister. Make sure she takes pictures of her injury's

Answer 4

She can swear out formal charges on him.  She just needs to go see a local magistrate.  She can get him for the property damage and the assault.
