Felony is Colorado what class

[no8rf]

Son was arrested on warrant for larceny in the state of Colorado, warrant states it's a felony but not what class. He stole from the state about 10 years ago, was found guilty and ordered to make restatution in the amount of 10k by 2016. He came on hard times and called the collections office they stated not to worry about monthly payments as long as it was paid off by 2016. Yes stupid I know nothing in writing. So is this still a class 4 felony? As stated warrant does not list a class just Larceny and Felony. Sheriff said over $500 but under 15,000 so not sure what class it is. DA will not return calls or answer questions.

Of course the DA is not calling back or answering questions. This is your son's problem, not yours. The DA is not going to discuss this with someone who is in no way connected to the crime.

The information should be on his booking sheet and will probably be on any court information. These can be public records.

I'm unclear as to what information you are seeking. First you tell us that your son was "arrested" on a Colorado felony warrant. Then in the next sentence you start talking about an earlier Colorado felony "conviction".

If you are wanting to know whether his default in making scheduled restitution payments as earlier ordered will have classification consequences on the earlier felony conviction, the pending charges, or both, the answer is that it will effect neither.

The information imparted by the Sheriff is no help. $501 is both over $500 and less than $15K.

You don't think a parent has a "problem" with a child facing incarceration?

Your cup runneth over with compassion!

Also your quaint double negative observation that the DA will enter into discussions with only those "connected to the crime" is profoundly naïve.

OP "child" is an adult and should handle his own LEGAL ISSUES.

As a Parent to an adult Daughter...I would not even THINK of calling the DA for her. If the "kid" is old enough to play he should not have mommy deal with the outcome.

And the DA is NOT legally obliged to talk to mommy.

If you should choose to indifferently abandon support for your off-spring for any reason, moral or otherwise, that is entirely your business. If another parent opts differently, that is NONE of your business!

A statement that a prosecuting attorney never discusses pending criminal charges with any one but those "connected to the crime" indicates that the declarant's myopic observations might be more suitable in the stereotypical, banal setting of a chat room or hair salon.

And who but you mentions "legally obliged"?

Lat - it's really simple.

This is something that sonny needs to deal with. Mommy needs to let him.

If one brings their child up properly they do not feel the guilty "need" to deal with said childs ADULT ISSUES. Legal or otherwise.

Oh I'm sorry, Latigo. Let me reword this to better suit your expectation of parental compassion:

OP, if you didn't want your adult child winding up in jail for his crime, you should have paid the restitution for him.


There. Is that better, Latigo?
