He was probably doing something to make the police think he had a weapon, so I'm sure he's not completely innocent. But possession of a non-lethal weapon is a misdemeanor. If he does any jail time at all, which I doubt, he'll get 30 days in county. More than likely, he'll probably have to pay a fine and/or do community service.

I am a criminal Justice major, and have gone through the same thing. All you need to do is go down to the court house and say you want to drop it. Besides nothing can be done to him unless you call the police. The only way this would not work is if he has already hit you or the child and he was arrested. Then the state would have taken it from there.

More than likely he'll spend the night in jail and get out the next day.  Then he'll have a court hearing regarding the charges.  IF this is his first offense he MAY be able to plea it down to disorderly conduct, IF the victim agrees.  If this is a habit he'll do time and pay lots of court fees.

You would have to check the law of your state. If you can't get his permission because you cannot locate him you would propbaly have to petition the court to get the ball rolling. Without knowing which state you are in it is hard to give a definite answer.

The crime is escape from lawful custody.  At the time of the escape the custody was due to the conviction, and was lawful.  The offence has been committed.

take him to court and turn him into the police. What he did is a felony

I would talk to a lawyer to discuss your options. There might be a chance the landlord is found guilty of negligence.

This falls under the category of "Live & Learn".  If there is physical evidence that shows he hit you (hospital, etc), I doubt he will get off easy.  If you refuse to testify against him, your chances of getting future help are not worth much & you just could be in worse shape than if you told the truth about him.  If the Officer saw the evidence, then that is as good as a photo.  I think his work may be in violation of labor standards for their statements regarding his job security.  He is innocent until proven guilty & he may have a good case against his employers, no matter what happens with your case.  You could have your Public Defender talk to the DA about how this is affecting your family & they just might reduce the charges or ammend them to read differently, in order that he can retain his job & insurance.  Once the DA gets something, it is difficult to get them to let go, like a Pitbull, they hold on!  Talk to your Public Defender. Stress the Ins. issue so that they will see that the children MAY end up costing the county money if you have to go on Public aid or welfare to get medical services for them.  You may have to do this if he loses his job anyway, so be prepared for the worst!

I think he will be looking at jail time on this one especially with a prior record. Grand Rapids is cracking down on this sort of thing and they talk about some pretty harsh penalty's for marking a building. There will probably be a fine and court cost and restitution.

First of all, I think you're putting yourself in a dangerous situation. Second of all, I'd let the authorities know.  If he has been convicted before and is engaging in this type of behavior, he'll go right back to jail. If he hasn't been convicted then he needs to be. Either way you need to make the authorities aware of the situation.

Fraud, forgery and theft come to mind. Yes you can sue him civilly, but he can also be criminally charged as well and ordered to pay restitution.

generally, its 72 hours. There may be exceptions particularly in relation to probation. At this point he can prpbably held based on the original sentence. Consult a lawyer

Depends on the state law, he will have to go in front of a judge for it to happen though. The judge will want to make sure he knows what he is signing away, and that he is of sane mind

it basically means if he is caught dealing again it will be brought up in court and he will be charged with it

You have to post bail, if it applies to him...\nYou have to find out what are the charges first, and work from there... hope you can resolve it soon

I suspect he'd be arrested very quickly.  Since he didn't do his probation, I would think that he'd have to do the sentence that he would have gotten had he NOT been put on probation.  All in all, sounds like your friend should get an attorney sooner rather than later.

Chances are very good if he's already on probation.  It's up to the individual judge, but most cases I've heard of like this did get jail time.
