Engaging in conduct that creates a substantial risk of injury to another, without specifically intending to, is charged as Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree (NY PL 120.20) by Rochester prosecutors.
No injury needs to occur to qualify for the charge, so a variety of behaviors that create risks for another person fall under the umbrella of the statute.
By working with an experienced criminal defense attorney, your chances of avoiding the most serious penalties, or conviction altogether, improve dramatically.
