Q: If you get a successful completion of work release can they file a warrant for a violation a month after your release
My husband was released a month ago from work release. He was given a successful release completion signed the paperwork and was released on good terms no trouble while he was in there and now they have filed a warrant for a violation.. If there were any violations shouldnt they have dealt with it while he was there and not releases him?
A:
In Indiana, the state has up to one year to file violations as long as the violation occurred during the term of confinement or probation. You need to carefully read the violation petition to see what it is they are claiming he did to violate his work release conditions.
I would recommend you find a local attorney to guide you in evaluating the violation petition. You will always be better off with the help of a competent attorney than going alone.
