    Default Domestic Vandalism Charges

    Yesterday i got into a pretty big fight with my father and it all ended with my dad kicking me out and calling the police on me. I got angry and punched a hole in the wall and when i went to leave my father's car was parked behind me so i had to drive over the lawn to get out and it left some marks in the mud/grass yard. My mother called me and told me i needed to go down to the police station to sign something, i knew they where going to arrest me but i went down there anyway. I got out on 200$$ bail and they charged me with Domestic Vandalism.They set a court date for june 5th and say i should get a public defender. And ive been looking around on the net and says i can get a year of prison for this even tho after all that my father didnt want me arrested, but since he was angy he mad a rash decision to call them, so its the state thats chaging me its not even my father.

    Also i live in Rhode Island and im 19 this is my first chage i have never been arrested or charged with anything previous to this. So i wanted to know if i will go to jail for this? Thanks to anyone that helps.

    It's highly unlikely that you're going to jail. Anger management classes, despite their questionable value? Much more likely.

    Consult a local criminal defense lawyer, as often there are deferment options available to a court when sentencing a first-time offender charged with a domestic violence-type charge.
