Violation: Violation of Probation
Result: Jail Time Avoided
Defendant pleads guilty to Driving Under the Influence and is placed on probation. While on probation, the defendant commits two thefts in two separate counties and pleads guilty to both. After a hearing and submitting over 30 documents, the Judge did not put the sentence into effect. The probation violation sentence would have resulted in the defendant being incarcerated for the next 8 months, inclusive of credit for time served. Because of our representation, jail time was avoided.
