AA hostage situation and arson

[CuriousGen]

Right- backstory. I am currently living on my own and let a friend of a friend stay over for a week because he'd recently been made homeless. Very nice guy, so i thought. In alcoholics anonymous circles a hostage situation is where you basically get someone back on the alcohol and/or drugs of choice so you can control them and milk them for £. I am a recovering alcoholic and ex IV user. not proud of it.

He became more and more aggressive, tried to make me give him a blowjob, shouting at me, i actually woke up with a needle in my arm a few times and i'd been clean since last July, so  i obviously wanted him out, he seemed to be ill, like rolling unfocused eyes, falling over covered in bruises (now i know it was an act) so i rang 999 for police and ambulance to remove him, which they did, he refused to go to hospital so they literally just dumped him on the pavement 2 minutes down the road.

 

He got back in through my skylight a few hours later, i was obviously pissed as a newt and withdrawing badly from all the drugs (again not proud). He used chairs and a bike to barricade my door and hid my keys and phone and had control of my laptop.

Anyway, the breaking point was he started to just piss over me, the sofa, the floor, himself, my dog; vomit on the bed. it was a complete shit show. I eventually managed to get an email out to my mum who forced her way in, she picked up an empty bottle of vodka and threatened to smash him with it if he wouldn't leave (he was asleep in my bed while i just stayed in my front room), he still wouldn't go so she rang the police ( i love my mum so much lol). All in all he was in my flat for about 6 weeks.

FFS i didnt even press charges as i didnt want to go to court and you dont do that kinda thing where im from.

(Also he pissed over the police on the way out downstairs so paramedics were called, he went to hospital and there was absolutely nothing wrong with him)

 

MAIN POINT, i went back to my flat today to just get rid of everything that had sick, piss, needles, cups or anything he had touched and put it in the bins in the car lot which is actually directly under my flat. There were 2 duvets, 4 sofa seats, 5 pillow, 8 cushions, lots of empty bottles amongst other stuff.

I had a phone call on my police phone (as i'm being safeguarded atm) about an hour ago. 'Someone', they wont tell me who had set fire to all the bins and there is a witness that they wont tell me either. Police are coming round tomorrow to talk to me.

My flat is badly smoke damaged and the firefighters had to break in so now my door is fucked and presumably unsecure. The police cant tell me what is salvageable and what isn't. In my opinion its obviously the same guy.

 

But my question is, will he be charged with arson, attempted manslaughter, will he get off with a caution, go to prison, will i have to go to court?

i'm really nervous and scared about the prospect of all this, and that i'll be blamed for letting him in in the first place if i have to go to court. i have social anxiety and bipolar and ontop of everyhting else, this latest news has thrown me for six.

I'm not after sympathy or anything just advice.

and i just needed to write this down for my own sanity.

Peace

Update, it was the same guy, he's in custody being charged with arson. Police asked if i was willing to go to court if i need to so i reluctantly said yes.

Police also asked permission to enter flat to take evidence photo's, im gutted as my partners fathers ashes were on the windowsill so i just hope he and the photo's have survived.

Also, i cant return for awhile as the floor in unsafe, but they said they'll arrange an escort for when i can return to get my belongings.

Currently trying to get through to my housing officer to tell her myself what's happened.

It never rains but fucking pours
