Bf in jail.?

Question

My boyfriend was just arrested 11/7/06. I'm trying to help him by myself because his family does not have any money or some do not want to help. But anyways, he is in for 6 traffic tickets, probation violation(on the run for 3 1/2 years), and for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. This is his first violation, he told me something about 10 years deferred probation, and that for now he can't get out on a bond. I was wondering if with these charges my bf can get revoked(2nd chance), put on the monitor, or if he is going to get some time in jail? Please share any of your experiences with me and please help me out. Thanks.

Answer 1

Your best bet... do your BF a favour, let him learn the lesson. Get the heck out of this relationship. Listen to your family, this is not someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. Once a criminal, always a criminal to this extent. This is not something minor. This is major major stuff. RUN!!!! And don't look back.

> But anyways, he is in for 6 traffic tickets

Depending on the degree of those tickets, that's license suspension, and a whole myriad of other issues right there...

> probation violation(on the run for 3 1/2 years)...
> he told me something about 10 years deferred probation, and
> that for now he can't get out on a bond.

Deferred generally states, that your BF when he was granted this probation was told by the judge that there was enough evidence for his full conviction, instead of serving the felony in prison, he would be granted deferred probation. Problem is, he violated that deferrment, so there's a good chance he'll be imprisoned. The reason they won't permit bond, is that you stated quite clearly he was on the run. Therefore, he's likely being seen as "High Risk" to skip probation again, and should definitely say something to you about his character. You only get bond if you're considered low risk, and haven't proven to the court that you'll do something stupid. Which, in your description is exactly what your BF did, and he got caught.

> aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

That's a severe charge, past regular misdemeanor, and generally encompasses a full felony conviction. IE: It possibly entailed intent to commit battery, rape, arson, or something else of that nature, without falling under premeditation and without the use of a firearm... possibly with a pipe, knife, or even a vehicle, which might explain the traffic violations...

> This is his first violation...

Of his probation, but you list all the other charges as though they are tied to the same issue of the arrest. In which point, there would also be the other charges compounded on the probation violation, which are also criminal 'violations' of the law.

> time in jail?

His deferred probation, as the court will likely state, was his 2nd chance to clean his act up. Violation of that probation, would incurr that he'll be requestioned to the court for a conviction of guilty, and there is no 3rd chance.

If this was a Deferred Adjudication of Guilt by reference of the Deferred Probation, all it did was delay the final judgment for a period of time. If his probation was completed without incident, the charges are usually dropped and the case is dismissed, and there is no mark placed on his criminal record. However, during the probationary period he violated parole, and by the sounds of things did a few other things he wasn't supposed to be doing. This will place a permanent mark of these charges on his criminal record.

Unfortunately, this will plausibly lead to a conviction of Aggravated Assault, which is a felony conviction in most states, punished with time in a state prison. It ranges from 1-7 years depending on the type of original crime from which the charges were drafted.

> My boyfriend was just arrested 11/7/06.

You're likely in for a long haul, as he'll be held until an arraignment hearing to establish his other court dates can be determined. Without bond, or a chance to post, he'll likely end up spending that time upto the point of his hearing in jail.

The problem with probation violation with such a serious offence, it generally results in the maximum penalty under the crime for which you have been convicted. There is no helping you out on this one... just describing the bad news.

Answer 2

OK read you question with care..............the traffic tickets are not a problem BUT where my leap of concern is that he has violated probation [on the run for 3 1/2 years] does this not scream volumes to you Hun, maybe that's why HIS family are saying hmmmmm leave him be let him do the time...........which is pretty much what I think he is going to get some serious jail time for the violations and the assault with a deadly weapon..........there comes a point where loving them is JUST not enough.

Take care and do NOT sign ANYTHING where you could end up being liable for his bonds.......after all he has already shown that he will run at the 1st chance he gets..............

Answer 3

First no, this can not be his first offense, since he has a probation violation. That means he was convicted of something and is on probation.

and no, he can not be released on the probation violation, he will have to go back to that court and have a hearing if he has to violation of his probation, ( most likely will serve time for just that alone)

And aggreated assuult with a deadly weapon is a serious charge, he will most likely do time for that also.

I would say he will be away for several years if not a much longer time.

Answer 4

Well with being on the run, having an aggravated assault charge among violating his probation, he will now have to do his time. Judges don't look kindly to being on the run, much less the violation charge. good luck

Answer 5

Gawd, why do decent women hook themselves up with LOSERS like that??

If he's been violated, he's going back to do the remainder of his sentence. The chances of his being revoked are nearly 100%.

Get on with your life, girl, and let that slimeball rot. There's a good reason why his family won't help -- take the lead from those who know him and move on.

Answer 6

To be honest, I dont really know the exact answer to your question. But I thought I would answer it anyway because my best friend's boyfriend went into prison last february. It has been really hard for her and I imagine it must be for you too. Its especially difficult because her dad doesnt know and shes only 15. Maybe you can find consolation in that lol? Anyway, I know that she couldnt have done it without the help and support of the people around her, especially her boyfriends family. You could turn to them for guidance, since they're going through the same thing you are? Your family probably dont understand it because its not happening to them, but his family will. Try it :)

Answer 7

You need to move on and find another boyfriend...
You also need to work on your ability to choose a good man..
Look on the man search like a job search...
You want a good paying job with a wealthy company, a
good secure future and one you enjoy doing...
Your man should be both your lover and best friend...
Marry him and get a good pre-nup guaranteeing your care & security in the event of his death or divorce..
As far as you current b/f...
Sounds like he is going to do some time, either now or in the near future...

Answer 8

Move on and let him find a new lover in jail. It sounds like the guy is a total loser without direction.

Answer 9

i wouldn't help this guy out for nothing , he sounds like a real loser, u would be better off dumping him so he don't screw up your life , a guy like that will be in and out of jail all his life , is that really what u want for the rest of your life , being alone while he is in jail, and u working to pay his debts, wake up his own family don't want to help , they already know that there is no helping him

Answer 10

If his priorities are that jacked-up, then why break your neck to help his azz? Let him work off his tickets in jail....this would be helpful, for it should teach him a lesson.
