You should look to see what exactly is on the appearance ticket, and what crime you are being charged with. It is possible you were only charged with a violation, but it is important to see what specifically is the charge. Often times something like this, a first offense for a small possession, is pled out to an "ACD", which stands for "Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal." Basically if you don't commit any other crimes or infractions for 6 months after pleading guilty, then the case will be dismissed, and you won't have to worry about a long term impact. For future jobs, usually they specifically ask "Whether you have been convicted of a crime in the past 10 years" and more often than not they specify that it be a misdemeanor. If you eventually have the case dismissed, then you will not have a conviction and do not have to worry about it affecting your future job prospects.

You can contact the prosecutor and then go to court with photo ID and ask the judge to remove the "stray away". For the rest speck to your boyfriend's lawyer.

You can go to trial and testify what happened. As to the ticket with wrong name could argue that it is defective.
