Q: Can they extend your probation when they modify it without telling you or having you sign paperwork about extending it?
I was sentenced to 258 days of probation on feb 10th they violated my probation in March and modified it in June of 2020. Now they violated me again in March 2021 but my probation should be over if they extended it I. Didn’t know and I never seen paper work or signed anything saying it was extended. I’ve looked on mycase and I can’t find anywhere where it says they extended my probation so I don’t j ow what to do
A: When a probation revocation is filed it tolls the time of probation running thereby extending your probation. So when you were violated in March 2020 and it was then modified in June of 2020, if I have the facts correct then most likely your time was tolled while the revocation pended from March to June so probation appears to have been extended.
