My husband was arrested last year for grand larceny in the fourth. He was sentenced to 5 years felony probation, did 8 weekends in jail, and had to pay restitution. We've paid what we can but were pretty low on income so he's a little behind on the payments.
A couple months ago, he got pulled over and was ticketed with an AUO in the 2nd. Which I believe is a misdemeanor. He told his PO immediately and is waiting to go back to court for that charge next month. Well out of nowhere his PO violated him two months after the fact, and before he was even sentenced in court for the ticket. So he just turned himself in for his VOP, and Im scared to death wondering what to expect. We have two children who need their dad and I'm due with our third in two weeks. I know he won't be out by then, but is there a chance he could get bail, and get a sentence besides years in jail, such as house arrest or more probation? It just seems absurd to me that they waited so long to violate him and over a traffic ticket... This is his first violation, can anybody tell me what to expect at the sentencing?
