What will happen if my 24 year old son was just cited for criminal trespass?
He took a beer (bottle) into an outdoor concert and was approached by concert security. They had him dispose of the beverage, escorted him out at a side exit and told him not to return. He subsequently went to the front gate and was stopped by county police and given a summons to appear in court for trespassing. Not smart on his part but hopefully not too intense. His background–employed– nothing close to a prior issue just sworn into the Air National Guard a week ago. Could this go on permanent record? I am planning on attending hearing and hoping for a fine only. Bone head move but never in trouble prior.
