I had a court appointment yesterday at VA Fairfax general dist. I have been charged a misdemeanor class 4 drunk in public. But i fail to appear. b/c i thought that my appointment is today. what is the punishment? Is there a jail time because of i failed to appear? thank you very much.
Answer
The possible penalty upon conviction for this criminal offense is a fine of
up to $250.00 but there is no jail time imposable.
Call up the clerk's office (criminal division) and find out what happened
with your case and whether you were tried in your absence and, possibly,
convicted and fined.
