Will I get arrested?
Find answers to your legal question.





Will I get arrested?

My friend just left the court house, he was supposed to go to jail today but he ran...If I drive him somewhere can I get in trouble?
Additional Details
It is in Michigan....

He was told that he would be taken to jail, for a long time...he was expecting it eventually...just not today, and they went out on a lunch break then he left.

That is a crime; harboring and aiding a fugitive and hindering prosecution...

Tell your friend to turn himself in. He WILL get caught eventually, and he's only making it worse...

If you get caught, then yes. In most states that would be aiding and abetting.

Yes, you'll find yourself in big trouble aiding a fugitive to escape.

I would bet you could. They will prosecute a mother who leaves food or clothes outside for her son, so they'll get you.

you bet you can! Don't even THINK about it. Aiding and abetting, harboring a fugitive, conspiracy, etc. Unless you drive him straight to the police station!

Absolutely! You can be convicted of Obstruction Of Justice for one. You may also be convicted as an Accomplice to whatever crimes he has committed (including what he was convicted of, not just the escape). The best thing for you to do is to go to the cops NOW and tell them what happened. Cover your own butt NOW.

Bottom line is that you MUST deny that you know anything about his record. If you are confronted by the law, You must comply or you are considered to be "aiding and abetting"


Sammyleggs222
Yes...you can be an accomplice to the flight from justice.....think twice!

Hey if you really like and care for this person, you might be there roommate!!!!

Yes you will be arrested for guilty by association, you may not get the same length of punishment as your friend but you will spend time behind bars, or if it is a first felony for you, maybe long hours of community service. Your best bet is to avoid the situation.

They ALL went on a lunch break? Where was the court officer? This guy escaped, period. He's adding time on top of time now. AVOID him!


Wraith95
You can and you will. Either report him or dont talk to him at all.
It;s a felony BTW. It will ruin your day.
