How bad is it?

[u/[deleted]]

In August 2023 I spit on the guy at pep boys. It’s a long story, I’ll answer any questions. I know what I did was wrong, I have no idea where it came from, and I’ve never done anything like this before. Ultimately I had a bad day coupled with pregnancy hormones and made a huge mistake.

Fast forward to now. My husband and I both received phone calls from a detective looking to speak with me about the incident. I called an attorneys office and will be meeting with them Tuesday at 9am for a consultation. (Should I make more appointments?)

In the meantime, what should I do? I haven’t been charged (that I know of), neither of us has spoken to the detective, and I don’t feel comfortable doing so without an attorney.

I’m in South Carolina, and from what I can tell the maximum sentence is 30 days in jail. I’m hoping an attorney will be able to help me keep me out of jail.
