Asked in Energy, Oil and Gas and Criminal Law for Louisiana

Q: My boyfriend drove his handicap friend to a oil site where they took some old oil equipment and now his bond is 100,000.

My boyfriend has needed money for a lawyer so he can see his daughter. His friend had been stealing oil equipment and asked my bf to drive him there because he can't drive and in return, he would give him half of the money. Enough to put down on a decent attorney . He was under the impression it had been out there for a while . The next day his friend was picked up and charged with felony theft . They issued a warrant out for My bf because a camera took a pic of his truck. His friend had been scrapping metal for almost a year and my bf never sold any himself. He just took his friend to . He now has a 100,000 bond. What could happen to him for just driving the truck?
