Although the facts you presented are unusual, there is nothing to prevent him from being charged is the police have sufficient evidence.
The above answer is correct. However, an attorney may be able to help your son, either by defending the charge or negotiating a plea bargain that may avoid a conviction. In any event, your son needs the best criminal defense attorney he can afford. If this case is pending in a jurisdiction where I regularly practice I might be able to offer my services for a reasonable fee. Please feel free to contact me.
