Q: My fiancee has been on a probation hold for almost 2 months.how long can they hold her without a charge being filled?
My fiancee has been put in jail on probation violation(no new charges) just a so called dirty urine test. Which is bull cause the probation officer took her in on opioids which were prescribed by a legit neurologist. The lawyer she has now has not done anything to date he has seen her only once and keeps her in the dark. How long can they keep my fiance in jail without filing any charges? There has been no motion to revoke as of yet nor any other charges. Please help.my fiance is in angelina county jail at the moment.
A: So she was on probation, violated allegedly and is still in? That lawyer needs to approach immediately and ask for a bond. They cannot revoke her probation without a hearing. She is usually entitled to a bond, unless very rare circumstances. How did she even get picked up? They have a warrant? and if it was a violation based on prescription meds then that should be easy to beat. Get that lawyer to get her a bond or set it for a hearing date. Sorry to hear you're going through this.
