I know grand theft is serious, the dwelling part was a charge of breaking and entering of a dwelling. And a charge of grand theft. The person is on house arrest, but seems to leave during the day for hours, and the other night was gone until around 10:00 p.m. He says he doing deliveries. The store he works at closes at 5:30 p.m. I am the person who bonded him out of jail. He hired a lawyer, asking the judge to take him off house arrest. What are his odds?

OK, I am thinking that you haven't told all of the story here. This is how the criminal justice system will see this thing play out: 1) He has 4 charges ranging from not paying his court ordered alimony to breaking and entering and grand theft. 2) It looks like he has 4 felonies. A felony is almost always a crime where jail time is given for an infraction. He is on "house arrest". If someone is on house arrest, they have to stay within their home within a given number of feet. If they do not, the cops can re-arrest him and incarcerate until a judge can reassess the cases againt him. Think about this - if he would happen to be able to remove the house arrest bracelet and keep it where he is supposed to be, then the cops would never know. He could leave his residence and re-associate with his friends that probably have been considered a bad influence. Also, if he uses a store as his place of residence, the judge would not order the store to close, so that puts him back to where does he live.
You say you bonded him out. Why? Especially if you are an EX-WIFE, why would you post bail for this clown? He is pretty smart, because a wife (not sure about an ex-wife) can't testify against him in court, unless they pierce alleged offender-wife (ex-wife) relationship. Even if this clown has a good lawyer, what does that lawyer have on the judge in this case? If you think the criminal justice system is all above board - think again.
So if the store in question closes at 5:30 PM, what, exactly is he delivering? Drugs? Illegal alcohol, possibly a body?
Unless you know everything in this clowns case, to bond him out is really dumb. Being that you already bonded him out, has anyone ever thought about this clown being bi-polar? If he is, he must go to counseling sessions and get on medication and take that medication religiously. If they don't, as a bi-polar person, they get either really "high" and think they are invincible, or really "low", where they lay in bed for weeks in a fetal position or become suicidal. Pretty sick, huh?
Whatever, he is breaking the law, and if he is, you must have unwavering proof (pictures, sales receipts, a re-arrest charge, or someting) that show he is doing as you claim.

If you go to the hearing, and you provide them with evidence of him violating the terms of his probation, he is more likely to go back to jail.
If you know where he goes or the store, the police can follow him and charge him with violating his probation!

Depends on wheter you say something about his being out after when he should be. He may have a good chance.
