  • He can also expect a letter of Civil Demand this is monies he will owe (outside of court fines) the amounts vary but I would guess it to be around $200.00 to $300.00. You rfriend need not be charge dor go to court to get this letter as its a "Civil" not a criminal action

    Well, since we don't know what your "friend" will be charged with, we don't know what the condequences are.

    Expect community service, jail, fines, etc.
