    Default Escape from Lawful Custody

    I was charged yesterday with escape lawful custody 145 (1) (a)
    It was alledged that I opened the police car door to let someone out.
    I don't have any crimanal record and I am very worried about this.
    I don't have a clue what the sentence could be.
    please help

    Default Get A Lawyer

    gasoo, the sentence will depend upon the jurisdiction at issue - but I think you're referring to a Canadian offense. If so, the statute indicates that you are "liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction."

    It would be a very good idea to consult with a lawyer in relation to this charge, and how you can best posture yourself to (a) perhaps resolve the charge without a conviction or plead guilty to a lesser offense, or (b) avoid incarceration.
