What can this 16 year old be charged for violating?

KC V â„¢

In my state we would charge one of the following:

1) Destruction of Property or;

2) Criminal Mischief

Because the officer witnessed the offense as it occurred, he would be able to effect the arrest instead of having the victim file the warrant.

allisoneast

trespassing
vandalism
malicious mischief
destruction of private property

But I believe that these charges have to be pressed by the homeowner.

He could have been taken to the station as a part of straightening him out. Also so the homeowner would be able to confront him and decide whether or not to press charges.

For disturbing the peace... Umm... Charged with Vandalism, destruction of personal property... Trespassing...

Destruction to private property, and disturbing the peace. If anyone was injured it could be simple battery to.

It really depends on the mood of the cop, the situation, and the state he is in, as well as a previous criminal record or proven history of such behavior.

I live in kansas. If the teen were in kansas, he could be charged with the following: Criminal Destruction of Property, Vandalism, Assault, Attempted Breaking And Entering, Disturbing the Peace, Curfew Violation (Depending On The Time), Attempted Burglary, as well as several others I am not aware of.

I assume you are either the victim or a concerned relative. If you were the victim though, you probably would have just gone to the local prosecutor and asked him, so, I imagine you are a concerned relative. If you care for this young man, hire him a lawyer, and get him in therapy. A good lawyer can and probably would argue that this was a one time prank type of deal, and that he really meant no harm, and seeking professional help only makes you look better.

Vandalism, disorderly conduct, truancy, to name a few. Mostly they will do nothing but give him back to the parents. If it goes to court the judge will most likely make the family pay for the window and the juvenile will go to counseling for anger management or something to that nature.

Where's the neighbor to file the complaint? How does the cop know the neighbor didn't give the kid the OK to throw the brick through the window? Something like that, if there's no complainant, there's no crime.

If you're looking for possible charges if the neighbor did file/sign a complaint, depends what your state's statute calls it & what the kid was intending to do, could be vandalism, criminal mischief, could also be attempted breaking and entering/burglary.

Scott & Arlene C

In ohio, he could be charged with Juvenile Delinquency by Criminal Damaging. Vandalism is more for things like graffiti, egging.....Criminal Damaging is a more serious charge because it shows intent on doing damage to property

TheProphet

destruction of pp like everyone said

he will end up with 20-40 hours community service, have to pay for the window and will end up with no record

Walking on Sunshine

Destruction of private property, vandalism and if anyone was hurt he can be charged with the crime of injury.

depending on how the field investigation went, it could either be destruction of private property, or attempted burglary. if his intentions were to go into the house, it will be attempted burglary. if he was just being an ***, it will be dpp.

nickle

Destruction of property for one. Attempted breaking and entering

420

Criminal mischief and/or destruction of property.

danz4me82

Destruction of property, trespassing (if he was on their property and they can prove it). Plus the neighbors can sue the boy's parents in civil court for damages.
