Taking a Chance Obscounding On Felony Probation Vs. Facing the Judge
I recently seen my po. I'm on felony probation for Class B Tampering with motor vehic. She told me I have a revocation court date in 9 days, for failing to pay restitution, I've been making what little payments I can. I'm supposed to be paying $250 a month on a $10,000 case. I got 5 years probation. I've been struggling to find a full time job, but I have been working for my father who owns a Tree company, that's not doing so well. He is on his way to bankrupt. I right now am staying with a friend. And have been trying to get my Probation Transferred to California. It's taken California forever to let Missouri know. Anyhow, I know when I get to California being that I was born there and have family to help me that I can get a good paying job. Then I can pay off my restitution. Problem is that now this came up and now I'm thinking about running.
I'm thinking that once I'm there I can pay off this restitution, then get an attorney and turn myself back in, and hope they will just continue my probation. On the other hand I could show up for court and take the chance on getting violated for a new misdemeanor charge that will be also be brought up (That my PO knows about and wrote violation for, but the judge doesn't know about yet.) before the judge, as well as not paying the $250.00 every month. I do however pay what I can, sometimes $40 to $30 here and there. Plus my $30 Intervention Fee's. It's just stressful not being able to pay this but wanting to do the right thing. Also just got married and have a new wife that I don't want to take the chance on getting locked up for this. It just seems like a gamble anyway I go, Catch 22 you might say. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. JoHn- |

My only advice would be to be honest and not run. Running will make your situation that much worse when you do get caught or turn yourself in. You really have nothing to hide. Face it, Head on! It's the right thing to do. Always Always take the high road. Times are hard and jobs tend to be hard to come by. I wish you the very best. Best of luck to you. God Bless |
