What is the name of your state? Florida
On the day before Mothers Day, My brother & dad were arrested. Heres what happened...
My dad went across the street to talk to his neighbor about harassing, and making obscene gestures at all the teen-age girls in the neighborhood. He has four girls total 22, 16, 13, and 8. So he was very concerned. My brother walked behind him, and I followed to make sure nothing bad happened. My dad then talked to the guy about maybe sitting on his back porch and drinking (therefore making it where he cant see the road where my sisters walk to school on) They then shook hands, and the guy invited him inside. My dad walked in, but I threw my brother off the porch and told him to go home since he was not allowed on the property, and is also on probation. I turned around and then seen that the guy had hit my dad, and my dad's lip was bleeding. My dad then proceeded to defend himself, knocking the guy out unconcious. I then grabbed my dad, and walked him back home. Thirty minutes after that occured my dad, my brother and I went back across the street to see if he was alright. He then explained that he wasnt going to call the cops, but he needed medical attention. Everyone apologized, and left it at that.... Two hours later the cops arrived. They arrested my dad, charged him with battery, burglury, and attempt to comit a felony. My brother was also arrested, charged with burglury. Which I wrote a statement, and so did my husband who witness the event, but remained a bystander. I can see trespassing but not burglury. I bonded my dad out, but I cant get my brother out because of the V.O.P.
My dad went to see two attorny's today, and they want 15,000 each to represent him. My dad and his business went bankrupt, therefore he has no money at all.
Does anyone know what he should do? Cant he drag this out for a year? Should he press charges on the guy for assult (since the guy hit him first)? My dad is scared he is going to prison for protecting his girls, and himself.
