What is the likelihood then that I will spend more time in jail and what could the length of time be? This is the only thing that concerns me as I will be starting a new job in the state of Delaware next month and do not want to lose my job over this. I currently reside in Ohio and my probation is in the process of being transferred to Delaware. My original sentence for the felony theft charge was 5 days jail and I served all 5 days. I would be willing to accept extended probation, counseling, etc. as an alternative to jail time as I do not drink or do drugs and intend to be extremely careful from here on in so as to not violate probation again. I know that much depends on the probation officer and the laws of the state but I am very anxious and stressed about this. Also, will I need to inform the probation officer in Delaware about the new charge or will he/she find this information out by reviewing my records? Thank you kindly for your help.
