Legal Question in Traffic Law in Ohio

My son has to appear to be arraigned for making false alarms code 509.07A3. He basically lied to an officer about how his car got damaged. He has clean record. What is he looking at as far as fines and/or punishment? He is 19yrs of age. Is a public defender enough, or should he get an attorney?
