    Unhappy Statute of Limitations On a Consumption Charge in California

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California. It was about nine years ago that I left CA while on probation for a mis. call "consumption of an illegal substance" Just a fancy way of saying that i was caught while on speed! lol anyhow, been afraid of it ever since. I quit the drug entirely and now have a family and need to get a job. I have to get my ID here in NV so I am wondering if I should even try to do that or hide away in my house for another five years. Please help me so I can have a job and help my husband with the finances in our happy home. I can't go to jail because I have a special needs son that requires my full attention. My husband and I take turns with him but one of us needs to be here at all times. This could potentially destroy our home.

    Default Re: Statute of Limitations On a Consumption Charge in California

    There is no statute of limitations for a probation violation.

    Hire a lawyer in the county where you were convicted to try to work out a resolution of the case for you, ideally with you avoiding any jail time.
