    Default Notified of a Missed Court Date While on Probation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arkansas

    Id like to add that at the end of probation at my last meeting my po said I am done if probation fees are paid and to just continue monthly payments on fine. He said I do not have court. Two days ago I was called in court!! Called po to be told I have a warrant for FTA and show up this week. I did what he said to do so how is this happening? Called district court the next day to learn I don't have a warrant. Now I'm really confused. The money still owed on fine is going to keep my charges from being dismissed (I'd asked for deferred adjudication) and I will not be in good graces after my absence. I had no idea though and will not have an attorney. How do I explain all this to a judge? Like I clearly did not see this coming.

    We cannot check the court records for you. You may have been summoned to court in order for the court to verify your compliance with probation and to possibly discharge you; that would not require a warrant -- and it's pretty normal at the conclusion of probation with a deferred disposition. You can check the court records, or try seeking additional clarification from your probation officer.

    Meanwhile, find a way to get the money to pay your fines. Get a loan, pass the hat, sell some stuff....
