Q: Can I have a 17 year old step son arrested for breaking into a locked bedroom
He broke into our bedroom on Friday June 9th. The room is locked for reasons. He is out of control and he will not listen to myself or his mom. He has called the police on me numerous times making false claims of abuse and neglect. He does this when we set limits and restrictions on him for not cooperating around the house. I would like to know if in the state of Virginia PW county it is possible to charge him with breaking into our bedroom and making false statements about me, which could ruin my job with a Top Secret Clearance
A: You should go the Prince William County Magistrate's Office to ask your question. This is a criminal matter and not a family law or Landlord-Tenant matter.
