A close friend of mine was arrested recently.
He spent the night in jail. He has never had so much as a speeding ticket, much less been arrested and jailed.
He has to go to court in a week or so and is terrified that the judge is sending him back to jail. He's hinted @ suicide, rather than facing more jail time. Frightening, and it concerns me a great deal. If ANYONE has unofficial/off-the-record advice/help or experience w/ this sort of situation, PLEASE let me know! BTW, his paperwork stated the specific reasons for arrest:"violation of Pawn Brkr.s Act" and "theft, over $500" The latter, I've discovered, is a class 4 felony. Ohy Vey! So n e one familiar w/ such issues, please let me know ur thought. I and(even more so) my friend are terribly worried about his having to return to prison. Hopefully, w/ his lack of history w/ n e such issues, the judge will br lenient?
