    Default Consequences of Violating Your Bond

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: West Virginia + Maryland
    I was arrested and released on bond in West Virginia.

    In walmart in Maryland, My friend was shoplifting, I had no idea, but when we went to leave, they stopped us both. We both were charged with General Theft (CR7-104) The officer checked our names, and to my surprise nothing showed up for me. But I am innocent, I've went to the store and police barracks and explained my case, the state police then said that they can't do anything until it comes before the judge. However, they then said that if what I say is true then the judge will probably drop charges. My issue is I've obviously violated my bond. I am freaking out, will my bond supervisor find out about charges from another state? I've never been in this situation before, and I've never had any issues with my bond checkups. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Also, if I tell my bond officer, how likely is it they will revoke my bond? Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

    You need to shut up without an attorney present. The cases are not tried in the store or the police barracks. They only thing they are looking for you to say is more incriminating evidence. This isn't just going to get "dropped" if you say "I'm innocent."

    What do your bond conditions say? If they say you must report subsequent arrests, I would do so. If not, I'd keep my mouth shut (frankly, I'd be inclined to be calling my attorney I have set up for the first UNSPECIFIED charge with the new information). Yes, there is a STRONG possibility your bond may get revoked.

    I fill a paper out every week asking if I have communicated with a law enforcement officer. Also, I did say anything incriminating.

    Would my Probation officer in WV find out about a charge in MD?

    Yep. If they processed your arrest it should be in your LEADS file and accessible to law enforcement nationwide.
