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.

As I said I am going to turn myself in. I am trying to find out what will happen. Never been in this situation before.

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.

Thank u, I have not been into trouble not at all sure how it works and not Getting much info on my end.
Re: Probation Violation Warrant Issued Three Months After the Violation
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.
