Q: Release timing from jail with pending bond revocation decision?
My boyfriend was out on bond for drug charges and was later arrested for breaking a separate protective order. He received a $500 bond, pending bond revocation in the drug case, but no action has been taken regarding the bond revocation. He was arrested on March 25th for invasion of privacy, had court on March 27th, and was given a $500 cash bond on March 28th, pending this revocation. The drug case has a status conference scheduled for April 17th. When might he be released from jail if nothing has been filed regarding bond revocation in the drug case?

A:
If no action has been taken regarding the bond revocation in the drug case, your boyfriend could potentially be released after posting the $500 bond for the protective order violation, as long as there are no other holds or issues with his case. Since he was given a bond for the invasion of privacy charge and there hasn’t been any bond revocation filed for the drug case yet, it’s likely he could be released once that bond is paid.
The status conference for the drug case on April 17th doesn’t directly impact his release unless there is a decision made during that conference regarding the revocation of his bond. If no revocation is filed before then, there’s a good chance that he could be released, provided the bond for the protective order violation is resolved.
To get a clearer picture of the timeline, you can contact the jail or his lawyer to ensure that all necessary steps have been taken regarding the bond for the protective order case. This will help determine if anything is delaying his release or if any additional hearings are needed before he can be let out.
