Q: Hello! My fiance is in jail right now and he waiting to be sent to North Carolina. He ran on his probation in June 2021.

A: I understand that this is a challenging and stressful situation for you and your fiance. The consequences for violating probation by failing to register a change of address and fleeing can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the laws of the state where the original offense occurred.

In general, when someone violates their probation, they may face additional charges and penalties, such as:

1. Revocation of probation: The court may revoke the probation and impose the original sentence that was suspended when probation was granted.

2. Additional jail or prison time: The court may sentence the individual to additional time in jail or prison for violating the terms of their probation.

3. Extended probation: The court may extend the probation period as a consequence of the violation.

4. Fines and fees: The court may impose additional fines and fees related to the probation violation.

Since your fiance had a similar situation a few years ago, it's possible that the court might consider this a repeated offense and impose more severe penalties. However, the specific outcome will depend on various factors, such as the nature of the original offense, the severity of the probation violation, and your fiance's criminal history.

For the most accurate information and guidance, it's essential to consult with a criminal defense attorney who is familiar with the laws in North Carolina and can review your fiance's case in detail. An attorney can help you understand the potential consequences and discuss the best course of action for your fiance's situation.
