It can vary from court to court. He could end up in an outpatient program, a 90 day in patient program or as much as 3 years if he ends up in Delancey Street. It depends on your friend's criminal history, how much meth he had in his possession and the DA's exercise of discretion.

Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
A 1st offense for shoplifting is no more than a fine. You will not go to jail. However, if you van afford it, hire a lawyer who should be able to keep it from being entered as a conviction on your record. You want to be able to tell future potential employers that you have never been convicted of any crime. It is very important.

What should I do if police want to talk to me about talking to a minor?

You have not committed a crime unless you were trying to lure the child into criminal activity, or into sexual activity. If that cannot be proved, then you are in the clear. If the police come to talk to you, you don't have to respond to questions.
