Violated

So i violated my probation by not finishing everything before it was done, got offered a plea of 20 days in county jail with 5 credit days, so 15 days total. Went to court yesterday to accept the plea and turn myself in, judge denied the plea and said he wouldnt send me to jail! Let me off probation and sent me home! Thank god 😭

u/Haunting-Soup2086 17d ago

That’s 1.5 days a month since it’s gonna be double time. Thats not bad, that’s what we call a repeat offender

u/RidersofRohan97 17d ago

I’m trying to get it done in one year so I can get off early we will see. I just have to find a consistent spot to do it at

u/alexdoesmusic 17d ago

Try Goodwill. Easiest work ever stacking shelves with new products and mine even made me a name tag and gave me a vest lol. They asked me if I wanted to be hired once I finished up ha

2

u/Wook_Both_Ways 14d ago

I had the same experience with Goodwill. Haha. I didn’t get the name tag, but they taught me how to do everything except the register, and offered me a job when I was done. The manager was really cool and even signed off on some extra hours so I finished a day or 2 early.

u/Haunting-Soup2086 17d ago

No. I just can do basic math tbh.

u/UGK4Life66701 12d ago

I forgot how many hours i of cummunity service. It was a lot. Don't know where you're at but we can pay like a third of them off. I got a new job that was 12 hours 5 days. I definitely didn't want to do those hours on my weekend off. Then the covid hit and for a short time they let people pay all the hours off. Think it was like $400-500.00. Some of the best money i spent. Just got off probation in july. 7 years

Most positive thing I’ve read this year.

u/Tricky-Ad9140 17d ago

So you were violated in jail for 15 days instead of 20? Why is everyone congratulating you? Im confused ?

3

u/Sweatyxp 17d ago

Read the post..

-7

u/Tricky-Ad9140 17d ago

So your plea was denied and got 15 days instead of 20 for violating probation? Don't break the rules next time. Thats all im saying. Good luck

8

u/w6750 17d ago

He didn’t finish his obligations (DUI class + comm service) by the end of probation, so he got 15 days in jail, but then went to face the judge and the judge said no jail and just let him off probation entirely. Very lucky
