    Default Bench Warrant, Bond Revoked

    In 2003 my husband was charged with 2 sales of marijuana 10 grams or under and distribution with intent 10 grams or under. This case has not yet been resolved. About a month ago he was arrested on a bench warrant which was due to a address mistake on my part. He has been to court and has had his bond reinstated but they added $700 more because of the warrant. can he still be bonded out? With this case being so old does he have a good chance of getting probation if he has not gotten in any more trouble? He has been working and he has also been to drug rehab.

    Default Re: Bench warrant/ bond revoked

    You state that his bond was reinstated, but increased. From what you say, he can bond out by posting his new, albeit increased, bond.

    His prior record, whatever that happens to be, would be a consideration for sentencing. His failure to appear could be a consideration. He should discuss possible sentences with his lawyer, reviewing any applicable state sentencing guidelines.

    Default Re: Bench warrant, bond revoked

    they said that it went up because its was revoked then reinstated. so that was an extra charge. He doesn't have a prior record. so is it possible for him to fall under first offenders probation?

    Laws and sentencing practices vary by state, and even locally. You haven't even told us the state involved. Have your husband consult his lawyer.
