So you are on probation for about two years and you let your probation officer know you have no where to live and you have a chance to move to another state with family members but, your probation officer wont let you go. So your dad sticks you out on a flight to go to the other state and you don't let them know, and then you run a name search and there is a warrant out for you? can you go to jail? or how can someone fix this situation?

  1. Yes you can and will go to jail. You broke an order of the court and you will go to jail. How old are you? If your an adult, your dad cannot "stick you on the next flight" and your just using that as an excuse. You should have gone to court and asked a judge to grant you an exception.

    If your a minor, then your dad is guilty of aiding and abetting across state lines which is a federal offense.

    You need a lawyers help.  


  2. The warrant will not go away.  You are considered "absconded" right now.  You are in violation, and when they find you, and they will because you already asked and they said no, so they may already know about where you are, when they find you you will be extradicted back to the state you on probation in and have a hearing.  You will more than likely noty been given a chance to bond out because at this point you are a flight risk.  You will either have a high bond or none at all. Get a good lawyer.

    EDIT-If that person gets pulled over, they will immediatley be arrested.  It is a warrant for a felony. That person will be extradicted back to the state.  The PO may just be saying that to get the person to come back.  There is no way it will just "be ok" and forgotten about when you come back.  You won't go to prison or anything, but it will have to be dealt with.  You will probably spend a short time in jail.  The longer you wait, the worse it will be.  Just go back, expect to be in jail a little while and get past it.  It isn't like you are a murderer, it will be a violation, but its not like you caught a new case.

  3. IT WILL CATCH UP WITH HIM. WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS A VOLUNTARY SURRENDER. IF HE DOESN'T THEY CAN ADD AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR ESCAPE OR FELONEY FLIGHT. BY GOING BACK VOLUNTARILY HE SHOWS THE COURT THAT HE HAS ALL INTTENTIONS OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. HE MAY ALSO HAVE TO SERVE A VIOLATION SENTENCE WHICH COULD BE 3 TO 6 MONTHS. BUT IF HE DOESN'T RETURN VOLUNTARILY HE MAY HAVE TO SERVE ALL OF HIS TIME AND THEN SOME. HE CAN REQUEST A NEW PROBATION OFFICER. ONCE HE SERVES HALF OF HIS PROBATION HE CAN REQUEST TO HAVE THE REMAINING TIME DISMISSED.

  4. How you COULD have fixed it was to apply to the court for permission to leave, or go over the p.o.'s head.  How you can fix it now is to get busted and go back to prison.
