He is charged with a crime, and must go through the booking and bail system, to provide photo, fingerprints, DNA, etc, for entry into the DOJ criminal records database. Whether he goes to jail initially depends upon whether OR or bail is imposed. Given the facts, it is unlikely they will take him into custody and jail at the booking. Later, jail may or may not be part of his sentence if convicted. He should consider hiring a local criminal defense attorney. The charges are 'minor' and should result in no jail time since he has no priors. No guarantees though.
Booking means his prints, mugshots, and DNA get taken.
