My friend, he's 20, was really drunk and he blacked out in someones house down the road. The people living there found him in the morning and didn't know him so they called the police and pressed charges for breaking in. He has no idea how he got there. I am guessing he will be charged with trespassing in the second degree and fined for underage drinking.

It starts out with what crime is he being charged with. If its trespass, with no damage. he will probably not do any time. However, if he is charged with Burglary, that's a felony and time is more possible. He needs to hire a good criminal attorney. If I were his lawyer, I would explain the situation to the prosecutor and try to convince him to offer an ACD.

I agree with my colleagues. The possibilities range from simple trespass, to criminal trespass, to burglary. Have your friend meet with and retain a qualified defense attorney as quickly as possible.

He can be charged with Burglary. It is defensible with the right attorney. He should consider hiring a private attorney. Joseph A. Lo Piccolo, Esq.

Your friend needs to get on the phone and hire a criminal defense attorney ASAP before court. If not, go to court, plead not guilty and get the case continued to get private counsel OR ask that a public defender be appointed.
