35-44-3-2. Assisting a criminal.
A person not standing in the relation of parent, child, or spouse to another person who has committed a crime or is a fugitive from justice who, with intent to hinder the apprehension or punishment of the other person, harbors, conceals, or otherwise assists the person commits assisting a criminal, a Class A misdemeanor. However, the offense is:
(1) A Class D felony if the person assisted has committed a Class B, Class C, or Class D felony; and
(2) A Class C felony if the person assisted has committed murder or a Class A felony, or if the assistance was providing a deadly weapon.
A parent can not be in violation of this statute. Still a good idea for him to
get himself turned in ASAP.
