A: If your boyfriend was arrested for a community control violation in Osceola County and you believe it is unjustified, the first step is to contact a criminal defense attorney immediately. It's important to have legal representation, especially if you feel the arrest was due to discrimination or an error on the part of the supervising officer.

The attorney can review the terms of the community control, the alleged violation, and any evidence, such as the email and schedule your boyfriend sent to his officer. This information is crucial in challenging the violation.

Gather all documentation that supports his compliance with the community control terms, including proof of attending church, college enrollment and attendance, and any communication with the supervising officer. This will be essential in building his defense.

Your boyfriend has the right to a hearing where he can contest the violation. At this hearing, his attorney can present evidence and argue on his behalf, highlighting his efforts to comply with the community control terms and any miscommunication or misunderstandings that may have occurred.

Remember, the legal process can be complex, but with the right representation and evidence, there is a possibility to challenge the alleged violation. It's crucial to act quickly to ensure his rights are protected and his side of the story is heard.
