(1) If a peace officer receives complaints under section 28-323 from two or more opposing persons, the officer shall evaluate each complaint separately to determine who was the predominant aggressor.

In determining whether a person is the predominant aggressor, the officer shall consider, among other things:
(a) Prior complaints under section 28-323;
(b) The relative severity of the injuries inflicted on each person;
(c) The likelihood of future injury to each person; and
(d) Whether one of the persons acted with a justified use of force under sections 28-1406 to 28-1416.
(2) In addition to any other report required, a peace officer who arrests two or more persons with respect to such a complaint shall submit a detailed, written report setting forth the grounds for arresting multiple parties.
