My fiancé was sent to jail, serving 60 days, for violating an OP and domestic battery. We were both drunk at the time and the situation really wasn't as bad as it was made out to be but I wanted him to leave, he wouldn't, and when I called the police they said that if they removed him from the property he was going to jail. I assumed he would be released within a matter of days or at least have a bond, which he didn't. Anyway, I had sent in a motion to terminate the OP and drop the charges against him which was never brought up on any of his court dates. The state never mentioned that I had taken these measures and that I was just as guilty as he was of the domestic situation. Anyway, he got out on probation, for two years, wearing an ankle bracelet for GPS monitoring. His PO made an appt almost every other week and he made sure he showed up, he went to every court date, and he even got a job. He was ordered to taeke certain classes and even made an attempt to set up the classes he was ordered to take which were: domestic battery course, mental health assessment, and drug abuse classes, which he had to pay for entirely on his own at an outrageous rate. He was determined not eligible for the drug abuse classes as he was not a drugee, when he did his mental health assessment the woman informed him that he would have to take a four hour class, five days a week, at the cost of $100 per session until she thought he was better even at the cost of him losing his job. When he tried to set up for the domestic battery courses, he was late the first day as he was not entirely sure where to go and ended up being escorted to the right place by a security guard who informed the teacher what had happened. The woman was EXTREMELY rude and ignorant with him. My fiancé did what he could to disregard the ignorance this woman kept thrashing at him but when he couldn't take it no more he finally asked her what her problem was which resulted in her kicking him out of the class, and not receiving any credit for the time he was there. She told him to be there the next week ON TIME and one minute late wouldn't cut it. Well, he had worked late the night before and ended up waking up waay too late to go so he decided he would try again the next week because he knew she wouldn't let him in anyway. Well, his court date came up and his boss told him that he could not leave work otherwise he would be fired so he had to determine what to do. I called the lawyer's office for his PD and told them what the situation was, the secretary stated that it was only a check-in basically to track his progress and that they shouldn't be too harsh because it was only one court date. Well, he decided to stay at work and keep his job versus losing it and not having one. The next day he called his PO to tell him what had happened only to find out that the evil woman from the domestic classes was there and told the judge that he had deliberately missed 3 appts she had set up and never bothered to contact her. He was not there to defend himself against this one, which he didn't see coming, so the judge placed a warrant for his arrest for violation of probation. His case is considered a misdemeanor but still, he is on probation for it and there is a warrant. Now, I told him to consult an attorney and tell them EVERYTHING about the entire case, which he did. The lawyer told him to basically lay low and if he hired her she would get the warrant quashed because technically he did nothing wrong since the woman had lied which was the cause for the issue of the warrant in the first place. Now, he is scared and doesn't know what to do because he doesn't have the money to pay for the lawyer just yet but he doesn't want to go back to jail. In the instance that he is caught before he has the chance to hire the lawyer and goes to jail, will he have to do the remainder of his probation in jail? That is a total of two years and he was violated on false pretenses... PLEASE help me with answers!! Sorry my post is so long just wanted to give as much detail as possible!
