Federal Probation Violation
My husband was convicted for conspiracy to distribute marijanna. He was sentenenced five years in and five years out. We live in Missouri but he was expedited to texas because that is where the case originated. My husband served 39 months in federal prison in texas,then went to a "half way" house in missouri. He was released from the half way house and was able to return home (Missouri). He began his probation on may 11 2007. He has to wear the "sweat patch". it will pick up any drugs IF he were to ever do them. His patch has never came up dirty. BUT, his probation officer found three empty beer cans in our trash can and now violated his probation. For some odd reason they are expediting him back to texas instead of letting him see a federal judge here in springfield missouri. Why are they expediting him back to texas and how much time is he looking at/?
Re: Federal Probation Violation
Because the case originated in Texas.
He could be looking at serving out the full term of his original sentence.

...and you can bet that those beer cans are evidence. My guess is that the PO found your hubby's fingerprints all over them with a big 'ol thumbprint mid-can about 2 1/2 inches dead-center below the opening.
Extradition is their way of returning him to the Federal District Court that originally sentenced him. That is why he was extradited. It does surprise me because most federal POs do not like to travel because of their case load. My guess is that the PO knows someone in the area in TX (irrelevant to the case) and your husband just paid for that visit by slipping. You see, it's only a matter of time until you slip.
If he is allowed to be in a home with alcohol, but not use alcohol, then you better be ready to testify just who had the three beers. If neither of you had them then you better have a neighbor willing to testify that it was their beers. ...and do not lie because perjury in Federal Court is like pissing on the Alamo in Texas. They take it pretty serious.
