Loitering in the 1st degree

My 17 year old son was arrested for Loitering in the first degree and issued a desk appearance ticket. Can you tell me what will happen when he goes to court?

I called the police department and they said he is not a minor

Re: Loitering in the 1st degree

Your son is charged with a misdemeanor offense. Under New York law this is considered a crime, and pleading guilty to this will have consequences in his future. It is possible to negotiate a different outcome. You are welcome to call for a free consultation.
