Question about an Indiana law...Criminal Mischief, Destruction Of Property, Breaking Restraining Orders, Felon

Question

Hello. Just wondering if anyone knows how long someone can be put away for: Criminal Mischief, Destruction Of Property, Breaking a Restraining Order (has 3 different ones against him), is a Pryor felon, resisting law enforcement. This is in Indiana. I know someone that is with someone like this, and has beat the c**p out of her several times. She has finally stepped up to the plate and realized what was going on. He is know in Jail, and I know that she is scared to death for when he gets out. He has broken into her house, beat her up, harrassed her, cut phone lines, tore down her fence and porch on her house, spray painted her new car, cut break lines and I think that is enough right there. ANY IDEAS? THANKS!!!!

Answer 1

Criminal Mischief doesn't normally warrant a jail sentence.

A destruction of property could if the value of the property destroyed is high, however, even then....you can't pay restitution if you're sitting in jail. So...a judge may be more inclined to put someone on probation while paying off their fines, court costs, and restitution.

Violating the restraining order may get someone anywhere from a few days to months in jail for Contempt of Court!
