Q: will my dad go to jail? or what can i do to help him not go to jail?
I recently called the cops on my dad (im 23) for head butting me i told the police it wasnt that serious and i just wanted them to calm the situation down & i didnt press charges or anything. i really dont want anything happening to my dad
A: Yes your dad could go to jail but the time would depend on what the actual charge is. That being said he is probably at least looking at 180 days in jail and probably more. If you want to help him make sure he hires a good lawyer to reduce or eliminate as much jail time as possible.
