Q: My wife has been put on a 15 day hold in jail for probation violation what will happen after the 15 day hold?
Probation violation is from dirty drug screen
A: The 15 day hold is for being on probation and having a new arrest. The hold is to give probation time to file a petition to revoke. Once the petition is filed, even before the 15 days have run, she should be brought before the judge who may require a bond for the revo.; she would also have to post bond on the new charges. If nothing filed by the end of the 15 days then she should be allowed to bond on the new charges.
