My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington State, specifically Mason County
Is it considered harboring a fugitive or aiding & abetting if you allow someone to stay in your house and you know that they have a warrant issued for their arrest?
I have a friend who is allowing his friend to stay in his garage and he is aware that a warrant has been issued for the friend. He is worried about whether or not he (or anyone else on the property, especially the landlord who owns the whole place who has no idea the friend is there, for instance) can get in any legal trouble for allowing the friend with the warrant to stay there. He has not provided any other assistance, has no idea what the warrant was even issued for, hasn't provided transportation or funding or anything else, all he's done is allowed his friend to stay in the garage for about a month.... can he get in any legal trouble for it?
