Boyfriend's Mom Is "being Arrested" For Assault Charges.

Location: Rhode Island
So my boyfriends mom showed up at our apartment crying and super shaken up and said she left her boyfriend.
According to her, they had a fight and when she packed a bag and tried to leave he blocked the door and tried to keep her from leaving, and she had to physically shove past him to get out of the house and away from him. She was super upset and scared bc he knows where our apartment is and we said we wouldn't let him in.
The plan was to keep her here with us and go with a family member to get her stuff (he still has all of her things, including equipment she needs for her job) but the next day he called and said she was under a restraining order. The day after that I got home from work and my boyfriend said some cops showed up while we were both gone, said her boyfriend is charging her with assault. She was crying and said it was an arrest, but I'm pretty sure this is just them trying to get her to come in for questioning. She's scheduled to go to the police tomorrow.
Should she call and ask if she's being arrested? We want to get a lawyer for her before she talks to anyone because she did have to shove past him to leave the house because he wouldn't let her leave. I worry if she goes with no representation it's not going to end well for her, but i don't know how to articulate this or if it's the right course of action.
