what state did he get arrested in
what state did he get arrested in
he would have to be present, also the law states "occupant" also so he can be charged. If it was not opened he has a defense, and should mention it to the public defender, I would consider hiring a private attorney and submit evidence that he needs to be in school, the court may waive his appearance and he would not have to be their.
The law states a suspension is possible, but if they offer a lower charge, most likely not.
