My question involves criminal law for the state of: MN
I may not have quite all the details but can get them, I reside in Australia and my boyfriend in MN. I have just left there and now desperately want him to be with me here.
He is on probation (2 and a half years with one year served) for threats to a landlord (heated argument which in that state is apparently a petty felony) to which he plead out and took probation.
I have 2 questions, is it possible for a lawyer to have the probation reduced or eliminated or replaced with community service etc.. to be able to get him free earlier than 18 months to be with me? or.....
If he skips out on his probation and manages to get here with me......can he return to the USA without being arrested? I guess, what I am asking is, can he then only be arrested in MN or do they pursue him federally if he skips out and returns??
Any advice is appreciated. If you need any more info to give me the right advice, just let me know exactly what is required.
