my boyfriend was arrested for not completing community service. How long is he gonna be in jail for?

Question

He was caught with a little bit of pot awhile ago, and the terms of his probation were that he had to do some community service, he didnt complete it in the allotted time, and i got a message on my answering machine today..him making a collect call from county jail. I never got a chance to talk to him and i am extremely distressed by this. Is there any chance that he will get off without doing time? also, if i have to bail him out, how much will that be?

i know its easy to say things like dump this loser, but its not as easy to do; I love him. He is flawed yes but i have never had such a good time with someone. And I agree that people should not be jailed for pot.

no, he was caught with the pot initially...now he was arrested for not doin the comm. service. he didnt get caught with it again

Answer 1

awww.. i'm so sorry to hear about this. I know it sucks! can't law enforcement officials be such assholes sometimes!! Anyway i know how you feel. I got a message from my boyfriend who had been arrested for speeding.
worst part was I couldn't even get in touch to talk to him for days!!
he had to pay (an enormous amt) to bond out. waited till his court date and was told to get a lawyer because he'd be spending 6-12 months in jail. For speeding!!

As for your question, I don't know how much time he'll be sentenced thats really up to the judge. If they really have something against him, as in my bf's case, they can stick him with the entire maximum sentence. Most likely won't be more than a couple months. but yeah I know it sucks big time!!

good luck to you and your bf. hope it all works out♥

Your bf is arrested for mere possession of pot and had not completed his community service, and now he is notified to complete the community service or be jail. Quite simple, just finished the remaining days of the community service and he is scout free. Imagine what is a community service? The word alone is so pleansant to hear service to the community yet your bf cannot even do that? Planting seeds in a park would constitute community service, sweeping sidewalks and cleaning seawage disposal is another, he cannot do such things yet he violate law ordinances.

No donot dump him stay with him until he clears his head up. Maybe then he will grow up. Well you certainly need talking a lot with him. Good luck.

Answer 4

sounds like he is going back to jail to serve his time..

he was silly enough not to take and make the most of the chance he was given not to go to jail - probably they will make an example of him (they probably have a few who stuff this up..)

call the police or court to ask what could happen and what the bail would/will be... but bailing him out may be a bad idea as he had community service (a soft option) and he let tht slip through his fingers.... also ask the jail if you can visit him or contact him (if you haven't already...)

Answer 5

community service in FL is given in lieu of reformatory time decrease than the effect which you're a accepted time criminal and you do no longer prefer to bypass to reformatory. once you went to courtroom or with the aid of diversion you have been informed what your sentence could be or how plenty service you would be required to do. you will in all probability sentenced to the minimum instruction manual for the crime except it replaced into drug crime and judges tend to be a sprint greater durable on those and might max the sentence. in case you behave in reformatory you may earn time, get solid time and so on, yet in all probability will do it least a million/3 to a million/2 of the sentence. Be grateful the elections are over because of the fact no person desires to look soft at election time.

Answer 6

Call the judge and ask him. But keep in mind community service is an alternative to jail and a bargain for your BF.

Since he failed to complete the community service the court is enforcing the sentence in the only possible way.

Answer 7

If he got bailed out the first time, then the bond doubles to get him out again. He got an MTR. Motion To Revoke probation or his bond. You can get him out by paying double, but when he goes to court (he's is going to have to go.) the judge might just sentence him to do time, since he did not fulfill his probation officer's orders the first time. If he took a plead no contest to stay out of jail the first time, then he might be sentenced to do some time as a term of his probation.

There is a legal Charity Called Uplifting Kids they help people all over the world they are a 501c3 Noprofit that help people that have last minute or current hours to complete either before going to jail or the due date or after there due date, this organization was soooo great they helped my brother and my cousin out all they had to do is make donation to the charity for the hours they were do so my cousin had 8 hours to do so he paid them $80.00 so its ten dollars for every hour, also they did an overnight because he was about to go to jail it was pretty costly but it was well worth it same thing for my cousin that lived in another state they helped her out to and kept her from going to jail they mailed a letterhead out to her address for her to bring to court or rather give to her attorney and she never had any issues anymore she and my brother was soo happy they are the only charity i know thats out there they can help you , you cant complete hours online its not legal to that and this charity verified my family hours , its not worth getting locked up call this charity they are even open on the weekends as well, they are legal i verified them with the irs for charities and i verified there ein number before my brother made a donation, this charity is very nice and they do alot of great things for kids and the community so why not pay off your hours instead of going to jail , and they help out with school hours I'm in college and i had to get some hours done and they helped me with that of course all of this took place at different times but we remember this charity so everytime we was in a jam we used them and the outcome was great and legal , remember they do overnight for your court or school papers its an extra charge to expedite it to you and an extra charge for overnight they will call you with a tracking number this charity is great man they got all kinds of programs that can help you in your situation you can also fundraise off your hours and do a fundraise just give them a call i see alot of people on here that need help and rather then them call the charity to find out what they can do they end up going to jail hoping for an extenstion and that dont happen that often because my brother almost went to jail for not doing his community service hours the charity contact information is upliftingkids.org there phone number is 1-855-581-9111 ask to speak to the person that handles community service hours or school hours. They work with any kind of hours school hours, community service court hours it dont matter give them a call again there open on the weekends make sure you have your school infomation ready or your court information ready with a case or docket number because they can't do anything to help you unless you have that give them a call today Good Luck!!! I wouldn't trust no other charity but this one the other ones were flaky i didnt like them.

first get rid of this dead beat.....it sounds to me that he's gonna have a life time of him going to prison and not learning from his mistakes. second, it depends on the state it happened in...on average 2-4 years. it could be longer it could be shorter...the judge may sentence him 15 yrs for all every body knows.
just think about this: he didn't complete community service, he was caught with pot, he's in jail....again, don't you think him getting trouble with the law seems to always reoccur????

Answer 10

Depends on your state, It is usually for 2 to 4 years. The courts think of it as if you escaped punishment. Do Not bail this deadbeat boyfriend out. Thier are MILLIONS of better guys out there that are better than him. While he is in jail is a good time to find one.
