I don't know what to do.I have not call my p.o yet. I have done every thing the judge has asked me to do since my 1st arrest,my drug classes,completed my court refferal officer,paying on my fines and he wanted me to get help w/my manic bipolar depression problem so I did the dr.put me on some depacote and prestege it helped for a while but then my insurance ran out so I stopped taking it.Istill had a bunch of samples theft a couple of months went by and I was suisidle so I started taking the samples well for the last 2 or3 weaks I have been going to stores lots of them every day for about two weeks steeling every thing and 2 day ago I got caught.well I didn't know this about my disordor but you have highs and lows that come w/it so I call my dr. and he said that the prestege med that I was taking if your not depressed it makes you Manic that's part of the highs.I just need some advice please and if at all possible.

Call the PO NOW, ( and yes that was shouting) it will be considered a much more serious offense for not telling them, if ( and I mean when not if) they find out.

Most likely they will wait and see what happens with the charges, if they are dropped, or if you are not guilty because of mental issues and so on.

But if you don't tell them and even get off latter, they will almost for sure revolk you for just not telling them about it,
*** the worst thing than a regular PO is one who is mad at you for not respecting his position and notifing them of crimes..

But I doubt your medication and problems will get you off, and I would place money on it, that you get some of your time revoked. But that is just a quess and always up to the judge.

YOu need to reread your original probation sentencing paperwork to see what the Judge will give you (time wise in jail) should you violate your probation. If you are convicted of the new felony charge you definitely will be doing sometime in jail on your original charge plus whatever the next judge gives you on the felony theft charge. You need to contact your PO now or that's another automatic violation. You need to consult with an attorney if you have the money to do so now before you are taken in on a probation violation warrant and sit in jail awaiting your probation violation hearing.

The new charge is a mistaminor.im having thoughts of suiside there's a place called meadhaven it's a mental instatute,should I go there for about a week and then call her.I don't no what to do now

Even if your new charge is a misdemeanor charge you will still be violating your probation if you don't report it right away. You also need to report to your PO the new charge and the fact that you are going to the mental hospital for help.

I have one more thing,I moved to a new county and when I reported last my po wasn't there.I asked if I could stay w/there he said he'd ask her.I heard that the county I'm in now is better cause they have ACandTVif I'm violated id rather be there should

I move or stay and if I move will the jugdes change because ill be in a new county or should I try and stay were I've been for the past 14 months?and if I'm violated how long you think I will have to serve? Also I would like to thank u 4 your advise
