Hello, i was convicted under a plea agreement in dec 2002 of driving under suspension, reckless endangerment and another charge that i dont remember but had something to do with driving unsafe. I was placed on supervised probation for 2 years. 5 months went by from the initial probation intake meeting. In those 5 months i moved and did not recieve notice of reporting to probation until i had recieved a probation violation hearing notice. I went to the violation hearing and told the judge why i didnt report. I had fines that i didnt pay and was incarcerated for @ 1 month to pay them off, the judge gave me 1 month of house arrest to be done when i got out.
When i got out of jail i reported to my PO and did my month of house arrest. I then again moved and reported to probation regularly. Because i didnt (and still dont) have a drivers license it made it extremly hard for me to get transportation to the probation office once a week on the other side of the county. My probation officer knew that i didnt have a license and didnt try to help me out in any way. I failed 2 drug tests in the 13 months i was on probation but then got clean . I missed probation meetings 2 weeks in a row and my PO told me he would violate me if i didnt report the next week. I lost my job in the meantime and had a pinched nerve in my back and i missed the next weeks meeting. I never went back and this was 3 years ago. I owe 1400ish dollars in court costs and have a warrant for my arrest. I want to join the army but am unable to do so until my probation is taken care of. Im looking at turning myself in and going to pay 500 of the 1400ish dollars i owe.
I have not been in trouble in the past 3 years and i would prefer to just do jailtime and not do probation since I have quit my job made preparations to go to jail and still do not have a drivers license. I feel as though if i am given jailtime and then resentenced to probation i will just violate again and not out of free will. i server @ 13 months out of 24 months probation time. My former probation officer is no longer a PO and am wondering what i should ask of the judge or how i should present myself. I have a 6 year old daughter and i want to join the military to make a better life for myself but i cant until this is over with. I know i will be incarcerated when i turn myself in and i wont have access to legal advice. After i am incarcerated i will become homeless as well please help me out all i want is to move forward in life but more probation time will just hold me back longer and most definatly result in another violation
