I have 6 months remaining on a two year probation for white collar crime. I have been working and now going to school full time. My probation officer called Friday and asked me to come in next Thursday at 2pm because I had a positive drug test. This is my first one and I was wondering if when I go in will he violate me? He said for me to be honest with him on Thursday.

Depending if your probation is for a felony, yes, you could very well be looking at a probation violating hearing. And also depending on what drug you had in your system as well. The judge will be the ultimate decider of your fate, but the PO will have a lot of leeway just what he wants to do with you as well before the Judge has his say.

Hello s:

Most PO's don't warn their clients that they're going to be arrested... So, I wouldn't think you're gonnna be.
