He is not getting out, because he has told the judge that getting to court is a serious problem for him. So, the judge will keep him in custody until the case is resolved. I suspect you will need to put money together to retain an attorney. Good luck.

Lewis is correct -- you'll need to hire a criminal defense attorney ASAP

Why didn't he call UBER etc?? That is what the Judge is going to ask, and he will not be happy with your son's answer.

You can find some great attorneys in Albany GA

Good luck
