Depends on whether has had probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. He can also take them pursuant to a warrant.
Thank you for your time

No. Not during the diversion period. (Possession of a firearm during diversion can result in him
Being charged as a felon in possession).
Jail but does that 60 days still apply if you’re out on bond?
answered on Mar 22, 2023
Typically you have a year to indict under most general procedures of Prosecutor’s offices in Kentucky but you can always charge a felony. There are no statutes of limitations on felonies. There is a one you statute of limitation on misdemeanors but misdemeanors don’t get indicted by themselves.... Read more »
my mother was in jail for no more than 12 hours, i got a call from rent a center asking me for a key to her house to take the items shes paying for. theres no way thats legal and i need to see if theres anything i can do in this situation
answered on Mar 19, 2023
They cannot break into your home and take items. They would need a Court order to forcibly remove items but they can file a lawsuit or request criminal charges if a person is holding their property and payment is past due.

Technically yes, but it is not likely. You also wouldn’t be convicted of murder, until they prove it at trial or you take a plea.

Current response time is 60-90 days. 3 1/2 month wait is not unusual. Mr. Sims knows what he’s doing. Stick with him.

I would hire an experienced attorney who practices in the county where your warrant is. He or she should be able to help you communicate with the prosecutor, and get the warrant, set aside and reappear before the court.
Also would like case numbers that have beaten charges for those

You don’t have to go but make sure your attorney sees that it is completed.
I have a court date for diversion on March 20th why would I have to go back to court for my diversion is it completed now and they are dismissing it or what is going on?
answered on Feb 28, 2023
The court date is likely for the case to be dismissed. You don’t necessarily have to attend, but I would have your attorney attend to make sure that it goes through.
I live in Kentucky

No. Whether to prosecute or dismiss the charges is solely up to the prosecutor.

You need to work with your officer. If you go off the grid they can arrest you. Probation and parole is in charge with supervising you and you have to abide by their rules and their timetable.
Living at address. When I contacted my probation officer from other county she said I have 24 hrs to find somewhere else to go. I haven't found anywhere yet. Can she send police to get me or will there be a revocation hearing or what?
answered on Feb 14, 2023
You need to communicate as much as possible with your probation officer. They may give you a break if you communicate well with them. If they believe you have violated, she could file a report, and then they would be brought before a judge, and he would be entitled to a revocation hearing in the... Read more »
I said they could do a weapons sweep. I guess they took that as they could do whatever. They found a notebook and they are charging me with identity theft. This happened in 2018. They are just now charging me. Can they do that without a warrant. They have no body cam or anything
answered on Feb 13, 2023
They can charge you with a felony anytime there is no statute of limitations. As far as the warrant issue, they would have to have a lawfully signed warren that they presented to you at the time. It sounds like there are definitely some legal issues with your case. You need to hire an experienced... Read more »
