Q: PA, DUI Question
Before probation I completed 8 drug and alcohol classes at PC's. I was discharged unsuccessfully because I owed 120 dollars and was 30 dollars short to pay. for this I was discharged for financial reasons. These classes needed to be completed before I was moved on to ARD. My first day on probation my po officer asked me how many classes I have completed. He was informed about the discharge papers and told me not to worry about it and pushed me forward to ARD. When I went in front of the judge he had no copy of my drug and alcohol paper and still pushed me forward to my ARD. I have 2 months left on probation and my new probation officer asked if I have completed my drug and alcohol. She was informed about what my last probation officer had stated to me and she told me I need to have it completed or it will be a probation violation. i went into pcs and have completed 5 classes with a minimum of 12 classes to successfully be discharged but i will not have enough time. my end date is Feb 9

And your question is?
Do your best and deal with things if you can't get the classes completed by February 9th . . . but do everything you can to complete them, and document your conversation with probation (like emails instead of, or in addition to phone calls, etc.). You can also reach out to the Assistant District Attorney and ask for additional time to complete the classes, and I imagine you'll be given the extra time if your request is reasonable.
Best of luck to you.
