QUESTION: it was almost 3 years ago! thanks
So let me get this straight. The supposed vandalism happened three years ago and they continued to be boy friend and girl friend for two and half more years and then they broke up? I doubt seriously if the police are going to care much about this. And what does the dad have to do with it if the car belongs to the girl?

Expertise
Please do NOT ask questions about potential jail sentences that you or your friends may receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. I am NOT a probation officer or a parole officer so questions about those subjects will be rejected. I am a police officer with 26 years experience. Can answer questions about crime, police procedure, investigations, criminal law, search and seizure, traffic offenses. Prefer not to answer questions on the death penalty. Please do not ask homework questions. Remember this. The law in every state is different so questions about laws that are specific to your state could be difficult to answer. I also cannot give you legal advice on what to do or not to do in court. I have worked with authors in the past and will be happy to review scenarios or plots with authors to check for believability or accuracy.
