You likely don't have much to worry about at your age and with no history of violence. Show up to court at the appointed time, leaf bit guilty, and obtain an attorney through the court.
If he has medical concerns make sure they are being addressed.

(I think Moose's autocorrect had a bad night - I think it's meant to say "plead not guilty")

If the court appoints an attorney, it'll cost you nothing.
The taxpayers of your county pay for it.
