Hi Jacustomer,What was the charge against him? Your facts don't make out a hit and run., since you say you took care of the damages. Was your son a licensed driver? I'd be happy to look up the sentences for him if you use the reply box below to tell me what he was arrested for

Hi Jacustomer,I realized after I sent of my information request that you said this happened 8 years ago. In California, the statute of limitations on a misdemeanor is only one year, and if, as you said you and your boyfriend paid for all of the damages to the automobile, the police should have been able to find your son's whereabouts a long time ago.So I would argue that the case be dismissed on those grounds. You should make sure that your son has criminal a lawyer, since this is a misdemeanor. YOu would not want him to end up with a criminal record if there is any way that this can be dismissed or disposed of without a criminal conviction. Here is the statute under which he was charged. See VC 2002 It has a maximum penalty of 6 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. If he makes his court appearances, however, he should not have to be concerned about a jail sentence.
