Pennsylvania. My fiance was arrested when the cop ran his name and found he had a bench warrant for his arrrest! He had known he had this (since 2007) Just never took care of it. Anyways it was for failure to show up to probation, then failure to show up to revocation court(because he didnt show up to probation sign ins) He owed around 8000 roughly to probation, we did end up paying 4000 when he was arrested now he owes rougly 3700 to them. He goes to court January 11th, has been in county jail awaiting his trial, he has a good paying job, which he has not lost, and we have agreed to sign over our income tax returns to the county probation once we receive them (we are low income so it will cover everything he owes I have talked to the lady that does my taxes shes sure ill get what I got last year which was 4500) He has not gotten into any "criminal" trouble since then. The probation is prosecuting time served of thirty days and 1-2 years probation following. My question is how serious of a deal is this? and should I obtain a lawyer? He does have a public defender!
