My boyfriend was recently arrested on a probation violation for drinking on the las vegas strip. And he is on a out of Colorado state probation transfer to las vegas. He has been in jail for almost 3 weeks. Also only has 5 more months until his probation is up, he has been on good behavior the whole 2 1/2 yrs and completed 48hr of community service, and was working too, and has been paying his fines in Nevada and Colorado. His Las Vegas P.O. had him sign a paper not explaining what he was signin but stated he would be released, not knowing that Colorado was going to send him back to there courts system and go to court out there for his violation. Im confuse. How long does Colorado have to get him out of Las Vegas? And what is the worse that can happen. He is on probation for a marijuana case.

I have difficulty believing he signed without reading but... I understand that once Nevada has notified Colorado it takes every bit as long as it takes to get someone there to get him. Both steps have to go through State-mandated steps.


The Uniform Criminal Extradition Act states that Colorado MUST take custody within 30 days absent some extraordinary circumstance. If they don't you would file for a Writ of Habeas Corpus.

What will happen to him? Probation can be revoked and he can get the original sentence had he not received probation PLUS time for the probation violation.

I would guess that Colorado isn't joking if they are having him moved from Nevada to Colorado.

All the rest of his good deeds don't matter; the violation does matter.
