Question by : Is it ok to drink alcohol while on probation for a non alcohol related violation for disorderly conduct?
Basically the terms of the probation didn’t say anything about refraining from alcohol just not to get re-arrested for any violation and to attend counseling sessions. I am not that much of a drinker anyway though, so I don’t think it would be much of an issue to have a beer on occasion

It would be a risk to drink in public, so if you want a beer then do it at home.

PO’s recommendations on probation violation of drinking to excess?

Alan — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:23:08 +0000

Question by : PO’s recommendations on probation violation of drinking to excess?
A friend of mine was recently violated by his Probation Officer because he was found intoxicated. The PO is now going to recommend that my friend get in-patient treatment for alcoholism which means that he could spend some time in jail until a place is available at a treatment facility. What is the likelihood that the judge will go along with this considering that the probation is about to end and that all fees (except for court fines) have been paid and this is his first violation?

Best answer:

Q&A: I was in alcohol treatment, I signed a release of information to probation officer and municipal court?

Question by Rob: I was in alcohol treatment, I signed a release of information to probation officer and municipal court?
This information got out to other city employees not from yhe court. This then in turn got back to my employer, coworkers, my bussness contacts and family. This court is in Ohio, it is my understanding that most court records are public, one exception being medical records. It also seems to me this information should be protected under federal HIPPA laws.
Do I have any recourse against the courts for this?

How Long Is A Soldier Flagged If Given Probation In A Civilian Court?

Alan — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:38:50 +0000

My Soldier is in the trial process for DUI in the state of Washington. One of his options is deferred prosecution, which is a program that includes rigorous alcohol and drug education and counseling. The problem with this program is that a probation of 5 years is added to the mix. I don’t want my Soldier to be ineligible for promotion for 5 years if he will be flagged for the entire period of his probation. The reg on Suspension of Favorable Actions doesn’t say anything about probation from a civilian court. Anybody have any experience with this sort of thing?

I Have An Arrest Warrant In Colorado For A Dui Probation Violation. What Should I Do?

Alan — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:03:35 +0000

I got in a misdemeanor DUI wreck in 2005 in Weld County, Colorado. I received some fines and was ordered 2 years probation with alcohol counseling and random breath tests. I paid all my fines but never showed up for the treatment. I am from Kansas and had just moved to Colorado when I got in my DUI wreck. No one was hurt, I was the only vehicle involved.
I moved back home to Kansas about a year and a half ago, and naively assumed that since I had paid my fines the court might not come after me. I now have a warrant for my arrest.
I need to know what I should do. I am thinking about taking a bus to Colorado and turning myself in, but I am completely broke and can’t afford an attorney. I am trying to join the military, which is why I’m looking into this now.
What will happen to me if I just go turn myself in? I was originally given 90 days in jail but they let me off on probation.
PLEASE HELP! Let me know what legal actions I should take, and what to expect. THANK YOU!!

What Are The Chances My Probation Will Transfer To Ny From Pa?

Alan — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:11:32 +0000

I was arrested in Pennsylvania for DUI, underage drinking, and possession of a small amount of marijuana last October. I was placed on probation in April. I live in New York and my probation officer said that since I was in treatment (drug and alcohol counseling was one of my requirements to get back into school), not to worry about probation until I got back to school (in Pennsylvania).
Well, I finished my counseling here in New York and have about a month and a half until I go back to school and into the jurisdiction of my probation office, which means that I am not getting drug tested until I either go back or they transfer it over.
Is there a good chance that they will transfer jurisdiction to New York even with such a short amount of time left until I’m back in Pennsylvania?

About How Often Will My Color Be Called For Probation Drug Testing?

Alan — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:52:05 +0000

I’ve been on probation for six months now, half of my probation sentence for a dui, and I’m just wondering how often my color will be called for random screening, and how to go about getting my probation mitigated.
The reason I’m asking is not because I’m worried about passing the tests, but because it costs me a lot of lost time at work to take them. And I’m the sole provider for my son, so every hour counts.
I started the probation six months ago, and I had to do drug and alcohol counseling, as well as an assessment to determine my addiction level. When the assessment came back with the results saying that I needed no further treatment, my P.O. got pissed, and decided to assign me a color for random testing. This woman has not liked me from the moment I set foot in her office. She threatened to lock me up for V.O.P. when she found out I was taking cough syrup, for a cold, and I wasn’t sure if it contained alcohol. I’ve never been in any trouble with the law before, so if I don’t understand what she’s talking about and ask her a question, I get bitched at and threatened some more.
I have all my fines paid off, I’ve satisfied everything the court has asked of me, except the last six months of this probation. That is why I’m curious how to go about mitigating it.

What Will Happen In Maryland If You Are On Probation For Possession Of Marijuana And Get An Alcohol Citation?

Alan — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 11:42:22 +0000

So during beach week in Ocean City I was arrested for possession of marijuana. My family has hired a good lawyer and I am receiving counseling for it, so I assume that it is very likely I will receive probation before judgment. I am aware of what the consequences will be if I get caught with marijuana again, and I have quit. I also received an alcohol citation the same night I got arrested for possession. I am aware that If I get anything else added to my record before the trial, then I may not get probation before judgment. My question though is once I get probation, what exactly can and will bring the marijuana possession charges back. Will something like an alcohol citation? I want to drink in college I just want to know just how careful I have to be.
