Re: receiving stolen property
If the value of the property is under $500, then receiving stolen property is a misdemeanor of the first degree, for which the maximum penalty is 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine. But if he was merely present when the crime occurred, I'm not sure he's guilty of anything. What county is this in? And has he talked to a lawyer yet?
