A: Well you are a juvenile, so they can put you on supervised probation and probably make you pay for the phone. Or, if you’re lucky they may just put you on a consent decree and not adjudicate you delinquent. Good luck!

A: If she files a police report, you could be looking at a Battery charge, which is a Class A Misdemeanor. If you are charged with an offense, you need to hire a criminal defense attorney right away. DO NOT speak to the police without an attorney by your side.
