Q: can i go to jail?
My friend stayed was staying at my house. He was wanted by the police but I had no idea. The cops raided my apt for him and he had a gun. I got charged with risk of injury because my daughter (7 years old) was in asleep in her room. He admitted to the police that it was his. But im afraid I can go to jail for something I had no knowledge of. Please help me understand better I have never been in trouble before.And I cant go to jail I have a kid that needs me.
A:
You can go to jail if the police arrest you; if not, then you’d be ok. DCF may begin an investigation because of they being in the house when you had this wanted man (with a firearm) in your house.
Hire an attorney ASAP.
