Louisiana and Florida Probation

Asked Jun 3, 2012, 10:20 AM — 14 Answers
I was convicted and sentenced to 3 years in prison in Florida followed by 7 years of probation with early termination in 3.5 years. When I was released, almost one year ago, I transferred to Louisiana. I was recently charged with a misdemeanor and I am wondering what will happen. Will Florida find out? And what if the charges are dropped? Please help!

It is as if you are on the wrong road to a good life. Yes Florida will find out that you can't behave yourself and most likly you may be back in the slammer. Find new friends and get a life unless you like being incarcerated. I wish you well friend. It may be in your best interest to notify your probation offercer as to what has transpired------He or she will be better to answer your question's --- best of luck and stay out of trouble.

When you transferred your probation Louisiana you were given a probation officer and you are required to report your misdemeanor to them. Not reporting it, is a much more serious violation. so of course they will know since you will tell your PO about it.

Is my Louisiana probation officer required to let Florida know? Or is it at his discretion? Thanks!

They will do everything in LA, why do you keep talking about Florida, LA will or can revoke you and you will be held in a LA jail The probation officer in LA does not have to "report" this to anyone but the Probation department in LA.

For what it is worth, once reported it is in your file, and anyone and everyone knows about it.

Byran, It is "Yes" for first question (It will be in your file) and "no" to second question. Depending on what you did will determine if the outcome will be "good" or "bad".----Best wishes. You may have very little to worry about or not. Was it something as simple as a parking ticket?-------If so don't sweat it. Just see your PO and see where you stand---get it over with. -------If you need a LA lawyer ---Shreveport area--- I may can help. I question your obsession with Florida?

I am obsessed with Florida because they revoke your probation over nothing and anything. Thanks for your help and what attorneys do you know in Shreveport?

You are not in Florida--It makes a difference, you are in LA --this state will decide your outcome. What parrish are you located in?
