Misdemeanor Assault for First Time Offender
After a Yankees game (Bronx) I was drunk and threw a beer bottle off a parking garage roof, I was held on bail of $750 and was bailed out a few days after. I am due in court on Tuesday, I was charged with one count of misdemeanor assault b/c supposedly I hit a cop however but wouldnt it be a felony if I did? This assault charge is 3rd degree otherwise if it was 2nd or 1st it would be a felony. The judge did not mention the cop part in court. In the papers it did say I hit a cop though but nothing serious. I also have
1 count misdemeanor reckless endangerment. This is my first offense,
the free attorny at the jail told me I would prob do community service
and/or fine since its my first offense. She did not mention anything
about jailtime so I guess that is a good thing? I may not even be
given a criminal record since its my first offense also. What do you think
will happen for this 1st time offender?

You would prefer to be charged with a felony, rather than a misdemeanor?
Do your best to avoid a criminal conviction.
