my son is 23 and lives in pasco county florida.
he had never been in trouble before this.
he was arrested awhile back for driving w/o a valid d.l. and for poss. of marijuana under 20 grams..both misdemeanors. he got probation. he was supposed to get his D.L. and do drug tests...he didn't. so now he was arrested for vop. he was dreading his court date, and when it came up...he was scared and said he wasn't ready to go to jail. florida jails are so full, that he could have got off pretty easy...but he didn't go.
now he has been arrested on a warrant for fta for both the charges.
his bail is 5,000 each charge. i'm in georgia, and i really don't want to bail him out, because i'm assuming he'll have to do some time, and this will probably count as time served.
he's been in there for a week now. i'm wondering how long he'll have to sit in jail before he sees a judge? and when he does see a judge...what kind of sentence is he looking at?
any info is greatly appreciated
connie
