Got a DUI and have no memory of placed on probation. When released a friend picked me up, I was not released with NO paperwork and was alone in the court room. When released I couldn't walk on my own to my friends car, I do remember being given shots because I asked to many questions while waiting to be transported! This was a while back and I haven't even tried to inquire about my license. I had no clue I was even on probation until I was told by a friend that I should try to find out if I had a warrant. I did immediately and guess what I found? Warrant for probation violation on a DUI! It's my second time being in trouble with the law, first was a fight in high school which I plead no lo to and completed 3 years of probation along with anger management. Not afraid to go to jail, it's only a big deal because I have a baby on the way, with the pregnancy being high risk. I would love some advice and if someone has been in a similar situation,I and my wife would be VERY thankful! Jail time? Turn myself in? Get a lawyer?. Thanks for reading, any feedback is appreciated!

When you were in court didn't you have a lawyer standing near you? You should call that lawyer first and see what he says about the hearing. Then at least you will know what was said and going on at the time.

Right now your best bet is to retain an attorney to hammer out the details of you turning yourself in for the VOP hearing. You may have to sit in jail a few days until your hearing comes up and your attorney pleads your case to the judge. And being too hung over, etc to remember is not going to be a valid excuse either.

You story does not add up.

You are arrested, and charged, you would not be in court, unless you had a first appearance. If there was a first appearance, unless again, you plead guilty you would have just been given a court date.

You would have had an attorney appointed for you at that hearing.

But normally you will be given a court date, and would need to appear for that.

You need to hire an attorney, arrange turing yourself in, and then have the attorney figure it out.

At this point if you are correct you have a warrant for your arrest.
