Re: auto accident on private property - leaving the scene

The criminal penalty regardless of whether it is filed as a state or municipal violation, likely carries a fine and/or jail time. I am not saying your son is going to jail for the offense. He should consider hiring an attorney. He the charge is in a county in NE Oklahoma, you can contact me regarding possible representation by emailing me directly through the information provided in the footer.
