Re: What would the sentence most likely be?

If you are charged as a juvenile you can be sent to a residential lockdown facility for juveniles. It depends on your record.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

There are not enough facts to give an accurate answer. If this is the first offense, it is likely that the penalty might be light but if you are a repeat offender, the juvenile may be placed in a residential program for a period of time.

Re: What would the sentence most likely be?

It depends, is it a juvenile case (under 18) or is it charges as an adult (over 18).

In either situation you are looking at probation as the most likely outcome. however, a good attorney could probably get you in a diversion program, which would result in dismissal upon successful completion.
