Theft charges, including the possibility of a felony. Your friend needs an attorney ASAP.

The answer is it depends. I need a lot more information.

I need more information. How much time do you have left on probation? What are you accused of doing to violate your probation? Are you on first offender probation?
answered on Jan 10, 2018
Is your case in Alabama? If so, contact an Alabama attorney. If it is in Georgia, as I understand your question, you are on probation for a charge and were arrested for a new charge. If that is the case, you face the possibility of having your entire balance of probation revoked. Hire an... View More

Talk to a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn that handles death cases. Understand that they can only prove what the law will accept as proof--the burden is on your side to prove what is, the other side can just sit back and say it wasn't proven.

Your question is impossible to answer without more information. Regardless, when faced with a felony drug charge, I strongly recommend hiring a lawyer. A felony record can be very damaging to anyone's future, regardless of whether the person is sentenced to prison or probation.

Of course there would be stipulations to the sentence. But it is equally a form of punishment and isolation as incarceration. It gives plenty of time to reflect upon ones actions through time and hardships. With the right wording and examples could a judge be convinced to except such a sentencing?
answered on Aug 20, 2017
Not going to happen, in a federal court. I know of no instance of that occurring. Federal sentencing guidelines do not have that particular punishment on the books. Just plain old federal prison, if sentenced to serve time.

On the 10th of July I went in to report that my ex had taken my bank card and withdrew money from it. The officers asked me my name and to identify him. I was told an investigator would come and talk with me. No one came. I was then made aware 21 days later that the ex had been picked up on a... View More
answered on Aug 1, 2017
Yes, it can happen. Apparently, the amount of evidence you provided was enough to convince a judge, who would hear the facts you gave to that investigator, of "probable cause" to arrest your ex.

Hi. I got called by the police twice today, from a completely different city that I'd been to a few weeks before. I answered the second one and the caller asked for me. At the time I thought it was a scam call and I answered no. After looking up the number, it happened to be the police. I have... View More

Said person in order to catch another person with a warrant for something they were never charged with or arrested for
answered on Jul 15, 2017
Most likely not, without getting a judicial warrant. If you have proof of this, such actions may represent crimes.

The accused only lifted his shirt revealing the BB gun.
answered on Jul 11, 2017
Yes, brandishing a gun, even if a plastic gun that looks real, creates fear and coercion over a victim. That is the exact effect it was MEANT to have.
Get a good lawyer.
The BB gun was never removed from the accused's pants.
answered on Jul 10, 2017
Yes, the accused can be charged with criminal assault, even though the gun was a BB gum. An unknown but important fact, is whether the party assaulted recognized the weapon as a BB gun. Simply based on the weapons having to be reveal by lifting up a shirt, without knowing the mental capacity of... View More
I misplaced a check I got for my employer. Until now I've never had any trouble working with the money and offered to replace it. My employer told me he could take it out of my next 2 checks so I'd be working unpaided. The problem is I'm already underpaid. I work 72 hours a week (5... View More

No simple answer exists to this question. Stopping a moving vehicle, for a felony takedown requires RELIABLE information that a crime has been committed or is in the process of being completed.

i have years of unpaid taxes with a state lien that has been sent to collections FAMS.
answered on May 3, 2017
If you have a significant tax liability owed and you feel that the IRS or state taxing authority is about to pursue criminal charges against you, which is the only reason someone would have you under surveillance, then you should contact a tax attorney in your area right away.
He didn't take me out of state, we stayed in Georgia where the age of concent is 16. But in Tennessee it's 18.
answered on Apr 28, 2017
If he crossed state lines to have sex with a person under 18, it's a violation of Federal Law.(The Mann Act). If he's arrested under this code section, he should hire a lawyer immediately.
The person in question was just released from jail on drug and gun charges.
answered on Apr 7, 2017
Possibly so, but the circumstances of the event will determine that. For example, if the person claimed being an attorney to convince you to send him/her money to settle a lawsuit or claim, that would likely be something a Prosecutor would want to pursue. Having a recording of the exact statements... View More
