Donald Reed, a Vietnam Veteran and former engineer, was arrested for possession of marijuana and resisting arrest after officers found him smoking the drug under a bridge overpass in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Reed is currently unemployed and is homeless after divorcing his wife in 1999 and losing his job in 2006. Given this information, answer the following questions. Mr. Reed would be considered a/an offender because he does have the funds necessary to hire an attorney on his own.

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are as follows:

Mr. Reed would be considered a/an offender because he does have the funds necessary to hire an attorney on his own.

a. a problem

b. an indigent

c. a contract

d. an assigned

e. an at risk

Mr. Reed would be considered a/an b. indigent offender because he does have the funds necessary to hire an attorney on his own.

Explanation:

An indigent can be defined as someone who does not have the means and resources to provide the basic necessities of life, such as food and clothing. Likewise, an indigent offender is someone who does not have sufficient income to afford an attorney. In such cases, the court appoints and pays for the lawyer to represent the offender. This is actually a quite common occurrence, sometimes reaching the number of 82% of court appointed lawyers for felony defendants.

the answer is true!                                          

i would say b. research typically uses a variety of sources
