Q: i want to write my judge and request a hearing to surrender myself for a violation of probation warrant
i went to my probation appointment. she said we needed to hurry because court was about to begin and they could not have anyone in probation because of COVID-19 orders. i went to give my screen and we waitned for about 5 minutes i could not go. she said go out and try drinking something and let the ladies in the office know when you can go. i said ok, went out tried to drink some water but i donlt dring=k water so i went directly in front to the door to my car an got my freeze. i tried to go back in the building and was denied entrance when i said that i was not there for court. i didnt think it was a big deal. someone called me later that afternoo while i was asleep, but i called my officer and only got her voice mail,but i did leave a message. someone i know said watch they are going to lock you up i said no way why. only to see it on mycase the next day
A: It would appear your PO believes you intentionally did not give a sample because you knew you were dirty and left to avoid giving a sample. You can write a letter to the judge regarding what happened and request a hearing, however, the court has no obligation to set a hearing. It may be far wiser to hire an attorney to help address the situation giving you the best light possible on what happened.
