If you do behave then you have a possiblity of of getting off early. Also if you maybe do volunteer work that'd look really good. Talk to your probation officer, don't make it seem like you're just trying to get off early, ask them about volunteering and all that. it'll look good and you'll be on their good side. Don't lie to them, just be honest. Thats what i did and it worked for me! I haven't been on probation in years! Probation is hard to get off early any other way

First of all with probation and a suspended sentence the case is not "closed".\nIf the person commits a crime that the probation officer WANTS to hold against them (Violation) then a number of things can happen. It depends on the seriousness of the new crime too. \nThe person could have their probation extended. The person could do the time left on their probation in prison. The person could also do not only the time time left on their probation in prison BUT the suspended time may be included too. \nA "reversal" means just that. They want to take away the probation because said person fucked up. It must of been bad to begin with and the crime committed AFTER probation must of been serious.\nUsually a person gets one shot DEPENDING on the offense committed. \nTell the person on probation to chill out and get a grip on life.\nOr else get used to sending your buddy commissary money!\nIf YOUR the offender line up people to send you commissary money!

But that isn't what you did, just have a "couple beers."  You are underage AND you got yourself arrested.  So, knock off that innocent act.  You know what you did.\n\nYes...they can violate you.  They can also add to your probation, add to your original sentence, send you to rehab-conditional on your successful completion, etc.  You signed paperwork agreeing to do what they asked in order to be able to NOT be incarcerated.  \n\nHey....no matter what...if you can't take the punishment, then don't screw up.

if this is your first offence and you have an attorney you'll prolly just get probation...

Have her call her PO from a pay phone and tell the PO she would like to turn herself in.  It is better to voluntarily surrender than to be picked up on the warrant.  Most probation violations are a 30-60 day hold in the county jail--but I don't know about absconding.  Either way--it will be easier on her to turn herself in rather than getting caught.

you should try going to the clerk at the courthouse and ask them how to get an expungment of your felony or at least drop to a misdemeanor.  I did that a last year ago and it cost me about $60.00.  Of course every case is different.  I had a felony and a strike on my record and serve time.  But i was doing really good for the past 7 years...so GL!

Hon, you would be f*rting in the wind to think you can get a probation officer to drop warrants for revocation of parole in any state.  \n\nHe will serve time in Texas.  He will be released but never even leave the jail premises because the other state's warrants will be served him on the spot.  The State of Texas & the other state would already have made arrangements for an officer(s) to escort him to the other state where he will serve time for probation revocation.\n\nYou should seriously reconsider your relationship with this guy.  Could he be using you to try to get him out of the mess he has made?  It's easy for people in prison to whisper sweet nothings to a girl if they think it would be to their advantage.  Please don't jeopardize your future.

probably no jail time, but probation with breathalyzers every single morning at 6 am and work program every Saturday. Stay out of trouble and don't drink or do drugs on probation (shouldn't do drugs anyway, but especially not on probation lol)or it can last for years.

DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT and document -- keep records of what they are doing, saying and alleging.  Keep your own journal of what you do, with whom, etc. in case you need to produce this to an attorney or law enforcement.  You shouldn't worry what they are doing if you are doing right by the law and by the LORD.  If they leave voice messages -- SAVE THEM.  Again, write down what they say and do regarding you and your actions.  If you can't afford an attorney look into your state's bar association referral programs for Pro Bono (no cost) or low cost legal counsel.  Pre-empt their actions by keeping in constant contact with your probation officer.  Let her or him know what is going on.  I can't emphasize this enough...KEEP YOUR EMOTIONS OUT OF IT and put forward as much hard facts and details as you can especially to your probation officer and law enforcement.  They tend to believe you and give you more credibility if you leave your emotions at the door and seem organized and detailed.  Your life and your children's lives are at stake.  Take this on as the most important thing in your life right now but try to be as unemotional as you can.  I agree with the other answer prior to mine reminding you that WE ARE NOT CONTROLLING OUR LIVES...GOD is.  Give it to GOD, pray about it and things will work out as they should.  I've heard this many times...WANT TO MAKE GOD HAVE A GOOD LAUGH...TELL HIM ALL ABOUT YOUR PLANS!  GOD HAS OUR BACK AND KNOWS ALL THE PLANS FOR EACH OF US.  We think we know how to run and plan our lives but we (that think this way) are sadly mistaken.  I will pray for you.  Heads Up!

When you were originally placed on probation (or deferred adjudication) you should have received a probation agreement package that you signed.  It contains the conditions of your probation.  You will have to read it for your individual conditions but generally being arrested for anything (speeding tickets included) will be a violation of your probation.\n\nOnce you have committed an act that violates your probation the judge has the option of reinstating the suspended sentence that you were on probation to avoid.  If your original sentence was two years than you could go to jail for the full two years.  It usually doesn't come down to that but you need to be proactive.  Your probation officer will not be happy if he has been signing off that your monthly visits are all good and then he finds out that you have another offense that he was unaware of.  Your probation officer can be your best friend or worst enemy.  The judge will usually rubber stamp whatever he says needs to be done.\n\nBite the bullet and call your probation officer.

I see the others joke about law enforcement, but I really think that is a great idea.  Look, we have all been young, dumb and stupid at some point in our lives.  Some of us get caught doing it and others don't.  I would pursue your dream, whatever it may be, and if the subject of your felony comes up, be honest about what happen and move on.

Yes.  One is usually charged with an infraction BEFORE appearing in Court on said offense.   To be honest, if it is a petty crime, then you may luck out, depending on your level of probation.  If you must report weekly, drug test, etc...then I'd tell my PO.  If you are on unsupervised probation, then you may get away with it.  I am a paralegal and thus, can NOT give legal advice, but these are the option I see.

That depends on the conditions of your probation I suppose. If one of the conditions is that you attend this type of training by a specific date and you fail to do that especially knowing that a judge ordered it then yes you can be rearrested for violation of probation. If you have done all the other requirements it seems to me like you are one step away from completing your probation so why blow it now. You certainly won't be able to take care of your child in the pokey will you? You are not attempting to please your probation officer by completing these terms of probation. You are simply doing what the court has ordered and it is not a personal issue with your PO. Your agreement is with the court.\nGood Luck!!

Most pizza places are like this and you might get fired if your not careful. I have seen people get fired for not doing drugs. You should however ask for a raise and figuer out how to look better than everyone else. A new job is also my recomendation. The only way i can think of to get one of them in trouble with out being caught is by telling there probation officer.

Well, kiddo you should have taken care of the fine right away but, since you did not you will have to suffer whatever the law states in your particular circumstance.\nTurn yourself in, if you have the opportunity to go before a judge that would be the best option. If you have a clean record other than that you may get by with probation & a fine.\nGood luck.

Adam,  It depends on what the conviction is for?  If it is for selling/distribution you can forget it.  If it is for simple possesion of Marijuana, you can get a waiver. By the way there is a waiting period, other words you are going to have to wait one year from the date of final disposition of your charge.  IE..one year after you get off probation.  If it is for any other type of drug offense your chances are slim.\n\nNote:  Technically you can get a waiver for any single offense.(But what I wrote of is generally all that will be approved)  All of your criminal history is considered.  The Recruiting Command uses what is called the total person concept.  By no means is a waiver guaranteed.  Good Luck!!!
