    Default Will You Get in Trouble for Committing a New Crime While on Probation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NC

    In August 2012 I received a DUI charge, and have recently been convicted in May of 2013. I got sentenced to unsupervised probation and community service. My question is that I just recently got charged with marijuana possession. I've been charged before, but have taken classes to get it removed from my record; basically I have the DUI, and now this new misdemeanor marijuana charge coming up.

    My worry is that this new charge will violate my unsupervised probation, and that it would also conflict with the drug abuse classes I have to take due to my DUI. I haven't smoked marijuana before my last charges, and only got charged because it was a spur of the moment decision which I regret immensely.

    So in summary, would the new marijuana charge conflict with any aspect of my DUI case? Would it just be a fine that has to be paid? If I have to I'm willing to give up information at this point, because I really didn't see my life going this way and I'm terribly disappointed in my self. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    generally, a requirement of any probation is to not break any laws while the probation is in force. Unless your probation is different, the marijuana issue becomes a very serious issue for you. It will be up to the probation department to determine if they will violate you or not.

    Your marijuana use also violates the policies of the drug treatment agency that you are completing your treatment through. I'm assuming that your DUI is also a misdemeanor, so it makes sense to assume that this new weed charge will violate.
