I was recently arrested in California for shoplifting but on probation for a previous DUI -?

Question

has this happened to anyone else? what are the penalties? I have no other arrests

Answer 1

its a violation of your probation  so now you will go and do time for both the violation and the shop lifting.

Answer 2

First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on your ability to use the internet. Most folks who get into that kind of trouble don't have your technical skills.

This is going to end up being a judgement call, based on what else is going on in your life, how much you got caught with, how old you are, and some factors that have almost nothing to do with you, like caseloads and jail overcrowding. Your probation officer is most familiar with the particulars, and would be the best person to contact about this.

I suppose the fact that it's two different kinds of trouble probably counts for something. Still, I'm guessing it's a violation of your probation.

Answer 3

Well you should get jailed.

Answer 4

Ever hear of the New York Whores.

Answer 5

Let me get this straight - you got a break on a DUI and then decided to press your luck by shoplifting.  Get a job and stay out of trouble; you may not end up getting many more breaks.
