[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 10018, member: 1514"] Well a truckload of diesel will be considered a felony because of the value. Has he been in trouble before? Do you want to consider hiring a lawyer? His bail will probably be what I would consider steep. Probably commensurate with the value of the fuel. Does J have a job? That would be good at a bail hearing. You can put the deed to your house up with a bail bondsman if you feel he wont run. Or I think its 10% cash down. Maybe its 20%...I cant remember because I never did it. Corys were always either cash or property and I refused to do property. If he isnt working or he doesnt make too much he can get a court appointment lawyer. Here they are pretty good. They pull from all the local lawyers to rotate thru the appointment them to people so you can get the same lawyer you may have hired if you could pay for him. If your son hasnt been in any other legal trouble he may get through this with fines, a suspended sentence, community service or maybe some weekend jail time if he has a job. If worse comes to worse maybe he gets a few months. I hope nothing more than that. Let us know how it goes. Do tell him the best thing he can do is to turn himself in and not to run from it because that just makes things so much worse. [/QUOTE]
