Q. Can you be arrested for throwing a cigarette on the ground

September 3, 2024

A: I find it hard to believe that an arrest would be warranted for throwing a single cigarette to the ground. I would recommend taking a look at the arrest paperwork to see what statute or ordinance was alleged to have been violated. That is a good place to start. Look up that law and read it. Then you can discus that situation with a local attorney.

Q. If a woman has a restraing order against a guy & she's contacting the guy can she get in trouble for violating the order

August 30, 2024

A: A restraining order will be governed by the wording of the order. Usually that relates to some restraint on the Respondent or the person who the order was "sought against." As the previous attorney noted. if you are unsure what the order means you should consult an attorney.

You should also be careful of other orders that can impact freedom such as Conditions of Bond etc. It is possible to violate one order without violating the other. Being confused is not going to be a defense and might result in you being charged with an addition offense or your bond being revoked an you being held in jail without bond while your case is pending!

Q. My pti specialist told me when I payed for my last drug screen and received the results that I would be done

May 1, 2024

A: Although PTI is fairly standard statewide, it is governed by local practices and the original written agreement. The agreement usually has a specific timeframe but may allow for early termination of the PTI if all of the conditions are completed. The entity that is charged with supervising the PTI will have to verify all conditions are complete by the receipt of documentation that supports it. Once that is received, many jurisdictions will forward those finding to the State Atorney's office for instructions about whether the PTI can be terminated.

If you had counsel on ethe case in question you should consult with your attorney for specific information as it relates to your case. Make sure that you have consulted your original signed contract for guidance. ... Read More
