Now new po, months later they issued a warant for that drug test 3 month's later now I have completed treatment and was told I have a warrant 2 months after it was issued. My fine is paid in full. Never been in trouble and cab have a clean ua now and have since I since up for treatment. I am going to turn myself in just had to set it up with my work as I work full time again fines are paid in full just have community service hours left.

    The person who can best estimate what happened will be a person who is familiar with the court, the probation officer, the prosecutor, your prior criminal history, the facts of your offense and the facts behind the probation violation -- in other words, your criminal defense lawyer.

    My po, says it's out if my hands handle it or I make your life worse. I can't afford a lawyer and it just sucks as I have questions and can't seem to get them. But thank you

    Also before this I have no criminal history at all. Just this. Wish I didn't have this unfortunately I do and I am just trying to make it right.

    Then make arrangements for somebody to take care of your kids and turn yourself in.

    Ask for a public defender.

    Whatever happens, happens.

    Best case scenario: They slap your hand and tell you to behave. They may increase the number and randomness of drops so make sure you are staying clean.

    Worst case scenario: Your probation is revoked and you are sent to jail for up to the maximum allowed under law for the charge that got you probation.

    What you are talking about is a technical violation, not a new law violation. That makes a world of difference. I would be shocked if your probation is revoked and you are sent to jail. But nobody can tell you what your specific judge is actually going to do. That's impossible to tell.
