    Probation Violation for Obstruction of Law Enforcement
    Hey My name is Aron Saeloa.... Im 20 years old, College Student at GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY

    On Sept 05, 2004 I was charged with Underage DUI. I finished payed off all my Fines, and did my Community Services, went to DUI school, and Drug Evaluation classes also...I was placed on Unsupervised Probation for a YEAR, Meaning I just check in and then they asked me if I was charged with anything else, I usually say no, and then they assign another Check-In Date a month or so Later.. My probation should be over on JAN28th 2006...

    Well on July 29th, 2005 I was Charged with Obstruction from law enforcement.. I was put in a Holding cell for 11hrs prior to arrest, and I had a Set Bond for me to be bail... I got my Parents to Bail me out... and On Aug 1st I went in to tell me Probation Officer the truth about me getting charged with obstruction...She said she didnt know about it yet, and She will be Contacting me pretty soon, The next Check-In date is Aug29th... IM SO SCARED TO GO to JAIL... Am I going to Jail? Because I know I wasnt suppose to be getting in Trouble, I was just at a place at the wrong time... What would my sentence be and am I going to JAIL...

    Heres the Story when I got arrested on Friday Jul29th, 2005...

    I was Riding with a Friend, Since I can't drive at all. I went over to his friends house, which I didnt know anyone of them... I went over there to Help him change his Brake Fluid since his brakes were acting up, Then all the Sudden 3-4 cops show's up, Everyone that was there went into the House and Scattered out the back door, I ran too because I was scared and Knew I was already on probation.. I didnt know what was going on, We ran through the Woods thinking that we could get away and then Swat and K9 unit was after us in the woods.. I was the First one to give up and Surrender myself from getting shot or bitten... When i got arrested the Police man asked me if I had anything to do with the 7lbs of Marijuana in the house, I said No, this was my first time over at that house, and I didnt know anyone except the friend I was riding with, everyone else were strangers to me... I ran because I was Scared, then police said SHUTUP.. So I remained in the Backseat of the Police car for 2hrs or so, waiting on everyone else arrest... Its was something serious because we were on Channel 2 Action New in ATLANTA GEORGIA.....I was then questioned by a Detective in an Office while in custody, and My story and my Friends story was exactly the Same, We were only there to Borrow some Brake fluid from his friends and helping him fix his car because they were the only one's up at 3am in the morning... Everyone that got arrested was Charged with OBSTRUCTION of law Enforcement...

    Im desperately scared to go to Jail... Im a full time student, and I havent gotten in any trouble for about 7 months prior to my Probation sentence..... I dont want to go to jail... Is there any chance my Probation officer wont report it or She will give me another chance.... Because I really didnt do anything but run...I panicced and ran because I was already on Probation for Underage DUI...And I didnt want to get charged for something else that i didnt know of about that shady house and full of stranger's I didnt know or have met before... Im charged with Misdemeanor Obstruction of law Enforcement...Please Help me out...

    Am I going to Jail for something I didnt really have controll of???

    What is Obstruction from Law Enforcement??? I know what it is but really not understanding??

    Do I need a Lawyer???

    And is this considered Violation of Probation??? I already paid my fines and everything is done, all I do is CheckIN every month just to report to her, and She asks me Have I been Charged or commited another crime??

    I was suppose to see her on Aug18th, but I decided to go in AUG 1st just to let her know ahead of time that I have been charged with Obstruction...

    IM SCARED... Can anyone help me out with what I should do???

    Thanks everything will be appreciated...

    I rather have more Probation, or Community Service, than go to JAIL, just because I was at the wrong place at the Wrong time, and For helping out a friend fixing his car... IM SO SCARED seriously... I cant sleep at night just because of this on my head.. Im the only child, with a Mother and Father, and they have been stressing about my situation too...They cant sleep just like me...

    We are low incomed and dont have much money to do anything....

    I dont want to go to jail, Is there a Chance I wont, or I will???

    Please help me out, Im desperately going insane thinking about going to Jail, But I dont want to...

    I even showed my Probation Officer on Aug1st 2005 (yesterday) My Class Schedule for Georgia State Univ.. And she didnt show any Sympathy about my Situation, and she will be contacting me pretty soon, and Arranged my Next CHECK-IN date to Aug29th... I can even show her that I can pass a Drug test or anything she wants... Im really a good kid, I dont go out much except weekends just to relieve school stress and hang out with some friends... From now on Im staying home until everything is Cleared and until I can drive again...

    You need to consult a local criminal defense lawyer about your situation.

    With the help of a lawyer, you could manage to get the new charge dismissed, and avoid any parole violation. Without a lawyer, that's much more of a crap shoot. Given the possible downside, I suggest you work with a lawyer.

    No. You should be discharged when you complete your probation. (It is possible to be discharged from probation as a violator, and resentenced on the original charge, but obviously you don't want to take that route.)

    I found out today that they put me on a Notice of DIVERSION/ABEYANCE program... 90days to complete, $300 Program fee, $40 a Month, and 40 Hrs Community service.....I talked to the Probation officer, and he said that If I complete this within 90 days then he will Discharge me...

    Does anyone know what a Diversion Program is??? Let me know please...
