Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
aggravated harrassment
If a person files an aggravated harrasment charge against you and that persson resides in another state (3,000) miles away, is this an arrestable offense? Do I get a summons to appear or just get arrested?

Re: aggravated harrassment
It is an arrestable offense. In fact it is a Class A misdemeanor. The police can arrest you and put you through the system, which means spending a night in jail, or the police can give you a Desk Appearance Ticket, which means spending around 4 hours at the precinct before being given a date to appear in court.
Given your question, I am guessing that the facts of your case involve telephone calls. I handle criminal defense (I am a former ADA). If you decide you want to retain a lawyer, please feel free to call me at 212-622-7180.
