You should show up to court on August 23, 2021. Since any violation of probation is claimed to have happened prior to your discharge date, you continue to be on probation. You are entitled to be advised regarding how you violated probation. You are presumed innocent and sometimes a modification... Read more »

Me and my fiance have criminal cases open, non violent. He is currently in custody. I was wondering how it works to give the DA information as a trade to having him released and our cases closed. The information I have is on a high priority cold case, they recently offered a high reward for... Read more »
No DA will make a promise based on the vague information you are willing to share. You need to have a criminal defense attorney try to negotiate this for you. It may not be possible.
I was unresponsive when police arrived, gun confiscated, released to hospital, summons on July 22
Highly unlikely since you didn't menace anyone. Get some help with the alcohol please.
In Colorado, a dismissed and sealed case is enough to get 2A rights.

When the investigation is completed, they will tell you, is when you can get your things. That will be after charges are filed and the case prosecuted. You can call the detective that is assigned the case. Sometimes they will be honest about the plans for filing with the DA.

He had just turned 18 three months earlier. They knew each other from high school. The police messed up his name... Read more »
sorry your son is going through this. However, to assess the case and whether the plea offer is reasonable, it would be best to retain an attorney to look at the police reports and all the facts and do further investigation if necessary in order to better negotiate with the DA.
Cops said it will most likely be a permanent protection order and I believe he is still paying rent to store his stuff here but he isn't coming back and I want the clutter gone so we can find a new roommate.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. If you are asking whether the police can arrest you only because you are not speaking to them, the answer is no. They have to have probable cause to suspect you of a crime to arrest you.
My son is incarcerated in Texas, but his home state is Colorado. I would like to know where to find the information I need to possibly get him traded back here to Colorado where his family is.
That is strictly a matter for the Colorado Department of Correction and the Texas Department of Corrections. However that does not mean you have hit a brick wall. Call Colorado DOC's main number and asked to speak to the person in charge of inmate relocation. You may hit a brick wall at that... Read more »
