What is the name of your state? MO
I was reported for violating probation after failing to complete community service hours before 1 month till the expiration of my probation. My PO recommended revocation and suspension pending hearing. He also recommended discharge from probation if I had complied before the hearing. Before the violation hearing I completed the community service hours.
At the hearing I talked to the prosecuting attorney and she agreed to a disharge since I had completed the community service requirement. She filled out a form which states that the probation is "considered to be completed successfully". She signed, I signed, then the judge approved and signed it.
Unbeknownst to myself, a month before the hearing an arrest warrant was issued on me for probation violation. The matter was never discussed during the violation hearing. However, only a week after the hearing, I recieved a notice about the warrant. The notice states that I must turn myself in within 10 days of the postmark date or attempts will be made to arrest me.
My question is this: I have a copy of the form from the hearing (signed by the prosecuter, the judge, and myself) stating that the probation is considered completed successfully. So, is the warrant valid? If I am arrested on it, is this a false arrest? How do I take care of it without the threat of arrest and detention?
I just don't understand how I can be arrested for probation violation after the case was settled and the probation discharged in court.
