Oh that is a very good question -
Was he wanted on a paper warrant or had this person just committed a criminal act.
Big difference in the time you get in jail.
If it is a warrant then you face just a false information charge and harboring a fugitive.
If this person just committed the crime - you can face the same criminal charge as an accomplice after the fact
Which one did you do

False info can get a range of penalties from a fine, to county jail, to a stretch in state prison. It depends on the state and the facts of the particular case. Not a real smart thing to do.

Well is Mississippi you get off easy. My cousin have given the Police false info several times. When she get's pulled over she gives her sister's info b/c she know her sister doesn't get in trouble. The my other cousin has to go to court to prove it wasn't her.
I don't even think she's ever had to pay a fine for given false info.

bypass on your courtroom listening to and ask the decide to decrease the fines considering which you have been attempting to get to artwork and hadn't gotten a pay verify yet. in the previous you bypass to courtroom, attempt to purchase a month-to-month transit bypass or something to coach which you will pay now, and ask for the ban to be lifted besides.

Here in Missouri, that would fall under several different crimes, which could get you up to two years in jail, plus a hefty fine.
