IMO the police acted wrongfully, and should have referred to the DA to see if there was anything prosecutable[emphasis mine], but not arrested on a bogus charge.

I don't see evidence of "reckless endangerment" and expect the charges to be dismissed.

"Calhoun County Sheriff's Office While we knew this would be controversial. We have the duty to investigate all complaints brought to us. Knowing the nature of this case we presented it to the District Attorney's Office for review. Which resulted in the issuance of a warrant. [emphasis mine] It's a tough job that has to be done."
