I strongly advise that:

Many different things can happen depending on what the prosecutor chooses to do and who you get as an attorney. Get an experience one, such as myself, now! It will help in the long run.

Re: Breaking and Entering, larceny of 106 $

This sounds like Home Invasion 2nd Degree (essentially, breaking and entering or entering without permission a dwelling with the intent to commit a larceny). This is a serious crime that carries up to 15 years in prison and/or $3,000 fine (maximum, but he won't get that). If anyone was 'lawfully present" at the time of the B&E (like one of the residents), then it could be Home Invasion 1st Degree, with a maximum 20 years and/or $5,000) ... an even more serious charge.

It's possible that more than one count could be issued because he did this more than once (although the counts would probably be served at the same time, not consecutively).

It is tough to guess what his possible/likely sentence might be, although a prison sentence is highly unlikely. A jail sentence as part of a probation term is a better guess ... but it's all a guess right now. All the case facts have to be analyzed in light of the Felony Sentencing Guidelines, which have 20 "offense variables", and 7 "prior record variables". We don't know enough about the case to do those calculations. In addition, there's the issue of the judge who is assigned and his/her sentencing tendencies.

Your son should either hire a criminal defense attorney or apply for a court-appointed attorney at his arraignment.

And, in addition to the first attorney's three suggestions ... why not add:

4. Do whatever you can to stop your son from breaking into any more homes!
