    Class E felony for Escaping
    How much time will most people serve for escape class e felony? My husband has court this Thursday for an escape charge and has been in jail for 5 months he has to go in front of the Grabd Jury is there a chance he will get out with time served? This is also a common wealth state-Virginia. Thank you for your time.

    It's usually 6 months jail time for escape here in Ohio. And no, they don't just let you go with time served. The 5 months would not be enough time.

    Ok, to have escaped, it means he was in jail or prison for some other charge and that time was not over yet.

    SO
    1. what charge and crime was he in for in the first place to escape from ?
    2. how much more time does he owe on that charge ?
    3.It would be in the years here in GA, not months, so I don't think he will be going
    Anywhere

    *** now if this is not escape, but evading a officer, that is a different issue

    If he was on house arrest and cut his tracking device off, then that would be a 5th degree felony escape charge as well. You don't have to be locked up in jail to be considered an escapee, Chuck. Just cutting off your tracking device is enough to charge you with escape. That's probably what her husband did. Happens all the time up here in Ohio and they just add 6 months onto your jail time after they violate your probation for escaping.

    I have seen 3 years or being put back in jail for the entire full sentence for cutting off the leg device here.
