can a person on probation get taken into custody due to a previous charge?

The idea that he is being charged with a previous charge is not correct.  when a person is placed on probation/supervision(depending on the charge and the state)\n\nPart of a person's porbation is to abide by the law, not violate any other laws and to do what the original court order says.  \n\nOften times these orders say report to probation at their request, inform probation department of your current address, do randome urine drops, DNA testing(usually in ore serious cases)etc.\n\nWhen probation discovers that these elements have not beel followed, they issue what is called(again the "words" vary by state) a "petition to revoke".  this is sent to the prosecutor's office who in turn files it with the circuit clerk and a notice is sent.(possibly a warrant depending on how serious the origial crime was)\n\nthe probationer is called into court and if the state can prove any of the elements in the petition to revoke, the probationer can be re-sentenced on the original charge.  \n\nAs for how long he will need to serve...well the most he can be sentenced for is the maximum of the original charge.  Now of coruse he can also be charged/convicted of the new offense which may have a jail/prison term also, but most courts run sentences concurrently.

It is federal law that a convicted felon can not own or have in thier custody a gun. ( being on probation does not matter about it) ** although it would have also been a probatoin violation also)\n\nBut they will go to court, he will need an attorney,  he will have to prove that he did not have a gun in his possession.  Not in the house where he was living, not in a car he was riding in and so on.\n\nIf he was in possession of it, he is guilty. So perhaps working out a deal is really guilty

If he has never been in trouble before he'll likely receive probation.  Florida works on a point system.  The more points, the more time.  Too, if he elects to stay in jail pending his trial, it is more likely he will receive time served and receive a little probation.

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!

Even though a great deal of time has transpired since the original charge, there is a great probability that a warrant has been issued for failing to appear on the original charge. A person charged with a crime has an obligation to appear before a judge to have the matter resolved. A warrant can be issued at any tiume during that process if a person does not show up to court, even if they have shown up already. I would suggest that you contact the court of origin for your friend and see if there is a warrant. If there isn't one, then he/she is home free.

If someone breaks the law they can be arrested.  If they haven't broke the law a fake charge can always be made up to arrest them.\n\nCoach

I don't think so, unless the prior conviction has you on probation or on a sex offendor register.

He goes to court like I am assuming he did when he got probation. The judge will determine what provisions he did not comply with. Sometimes they do revocate them and send them to prison for some or all of the remainder of thier probation time. That does depend on alot of things, why he is on probation and what he didn't comply with. Like not paying his fees, etc..... but that doesn't always happen so just wait till he goes to court. Good luck not an attorney here either I do work for a prison and see alot of guys come in on a revocation.

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.

He can be held in Contempt of Court and once he goes to court and then probation involved, he will be  in violation of the court ordered probation, either one he can be put in jail for.And no it DOES NOT matter what town he is in! Most court systems does not allow you to move unless you also transfer your probation. Also he can be made attend AA Meetings, and closely monitored by the court system... However you must first PROVE to the courts that he is still drinking!

They usually offer to drop some charges on you if you will agree to help them. If you don't comply, then they will press the charges. The other thing that could happen is they could make your life hard, depending on how bad they want the person they are asking you to set up. \nI recommend looking out for your own safety. If the person you would be setting up is dangerous, has lots of "friends", and would come after you, I would say no. \nI had a friend in a similar situation. He decided after he was released not to go along with it and all that happened was they pressed charges and he had to pay a bunch of fines. That's better than to risk his safety.

How does probation violate you? I assume you mean you violated probation? The answer depends on your lawyer, the judge, and the TWO crimes. Many times if you violate probation you will be charged with the previous offense as well as the current one. \n\nSMARTEN UP DUMBASS.

Yes probation can interfere with work your b/f got a job hopefully he told his employer that he was on probation in the first place. Alot of business will work with parolees and give them time off they need however if your b/f did not tell his emplyer that he was on paroloe then he should lose his job and go back to jail.

Everytime I get arrested(which is quite often and matter of fact the last time was Wednesday...Just got out Thursday morning) I have my "First Apperance"(which is usually held inside the jail somewhere) the next day or two, which at First Apperance they give you the chance to bond out and sentence you. You don't get your 'real' court date(in the courthouse) until at least two weeks later, but sometimes it can take up to a month or more. It sounds like what happened to your friend is 1) He couldn't make bond 2) They didn't issue him a bond, which means he has to stay till his 'real court date' at that time they will either give him time served and let him out or give him probation or 3) He already went to court and has to do his time period
