Q: need I formation about running away of felony probation of delivery and manufacturing of narcotics less than 50g or less
Did complete my 2 yr. Drug court program for my felony probation but I still had fines to pay but found out I had the controlled buy done on me and I ran because I was scared I would go away for a long time and not see my family. How long will I get in prison if I go back and turn myself in I have only been on the run for 1 year
A:
You will be sentenced on your probation violation, with your original sentencing guidelines used for a good estimate. Additionally, you are likely facing a new charge, and points will be assessed for picking up this new charge while on probation in the sentencing guidelines. Without knowing more about you, it's hard to say how much time you're looking at.
What I can tell you is that it is always better to turn yourself in than to be found. These sort of situations often end at the exact worst moment for you (i.e. when your family needs you the most). You should contact a local attorney to help facility this so that you can maintain as much control over the situation as possible.
