Violated Probation but still free
I know someone in Virginia who was placed on 3 yrs probation in Dec 2005 for grand larceny of a firearm. Since that time, this person has failed a drug test when the PO showed up on their job because they missed an appointment. Lost their job because the PO showed up at their job and they didn't tell employer they were on probation. Been found guilty of shoplifting, found guilty of attempted grand larceny and conspiring to commit grand larceny( in which more probation was added), found guilty of wreckless driving & no valid DL and ordered to attend VASAP, now they have to go to court for Violation of VASAP and driving with a suspended DL. At what point do the courts consider that this person is in voilation of probation? They are now trying to use the fact that they have a minor child in the house and the spouse has orders to go with the military unit to Iraq in the fall to try to stay out of jail and just serve house arrest. Keep in mind all this has happened from Dec 2005 to May 2008. Is there anything that I can do to help influence the judge to put this person in prison?
