    Probation Violation After Probation Ending Date
    My question involves criminal law for the state of:Georgia
    My friend was sentenced to 3 yrs. probation , 100 hrs of community svc.,
    and had to pay a fine. this was in 2004. They paid the fine but did not
    do the community svc. and stopped reporting. A warrant was issued in
    Oct. 2005 and a "tolling order" was issued in Dec. 2005. Nothing was done
    about the warrant (police didn't try to serve the warrant) . The 3 yrs.
    was over in Aug. 2007. In April 2008 the police ran the name during
    a routine traffic and it came back that there was a warrant issued in
    2005 and they were arrested for prob. violation and are currently in
    jail. They have been assigned a new P.O. and met with him 2 days after
    being put in jail. During this meeting they were told that they could opt
    for a court date and go before the judge or sign a paper agreeing to do
    30 days in leiu of the community svc. and upon release be placed on
    non reporting probation. My friend agreed and signed the paper to do the
    30 days. When the original P.O. heard about this he said that it was wrong
    and they would be back on reporting probation indefinitly. Can he do this?

    Sentencing is up to the judge. Your friend can talk to his lawyer about what the judge is likely to do.
