Consequences of Absconding from Felony Probation
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia and Arizona
You see I got a felony poss. In va. For a used empty needle. I got offered 60 days in jail and countered with a program. I got the plea and went to arizona for treatment. I was just supposed to do 30 days but for the first time in my life it stuck I opted to stay for all stages of care and planned to move back there for good after I went back for sentencing at court. I came back to va the day before court with 110 days of sobriety under my belt for the first time in my life since I was 16. And the judge accepts my plea and puts me on probation. I go to check in and transfer and he says it's not Likly that Arizona will accept my case and I'll have to stay here in va. I don't know what to do. There are users everywhere here. I have nowhere to live if I don't want to be around it. I have since relapsed. And I'm terrified of getting hooked back on it. If Arizona denies my transfer and I just run from va and go back anyway. Isn't Arizona a no extradition state? If I stay low-key there for a certain amount of time will the trouble in va. Disappear. I've heard 5 years. I'm desperate. Someone please help me if I stay in va. I'll either die or end up back in jail. I was a productive member of society in arizona. I had a job. I was clean for the first time ever and I was happy. What can I do?
Re: Absvonding to Arizona
Did the VA department of corrections authroize you to go back to Arizona pending? Under what basis did the po say he didn't think Arizona would take your probation?

If you can stay clean in Arizona you can stay clean anywhere. Lots of people do it. Did the PO submit a transfer or not?
