Violation???

What is the name of your state?texas

My friends boyfriend was fired today. He is currently on probation for burglury of a habitation. HE was fired because he refuse to tae a UA at work after causeing damage with fork lift. Since he would not take UA he was fired, is this a violation of probation and will he be arrested? He was caught drinking at work a fe months ago and they let it go. However they clearly are not letting this go.

Why would his getting fired result in a probation violation? Does he have to maintain employment to avoid custody? If so, he'd better get off his tail and find work right now. If he remains off work too long, it could be seen that he is intentionally avoding employment.

And maybe he needs to straighten up his act ... stop drinking at work and take responsibility for his actions.

he is required to keep a job. however him refusing a ua is what might cause him the trouble. he doesnt think he has a drinking problem so he wont listen to his girlfriend. they have a baby and she is worried. he is not supposed to be drinking but does anyways. he is sorry we just arent sure if a reufal of a ua is the same as having a positive one

Come on now, why refuse UA unless there is somethng to hide?
Most employers routinely do UA following accidents and they knew he had a problem. Looks like he needs to get another job, quick and stop drinking for everyone's sake.
He knew what would happen.

yeah he does have something to hide. My friend is tired of him and has been sticking it out for her son. bad idea she is coming around to see he is never going to change. although he says he will he hasnt yet. i hope he goes to jail

If he refused at work, maybe his probation officer will decide its time to do a little random testing of his own.

A three-year study by Robert Meiers, M.D., in Santa Cruz, California, found that more than 95 percent of alcoholics studied suffered from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). [url=http://www.healthrecovery.com/alcoholism_hypoglycemia.html]HealthRecovery.com[/url]

If your friend's boyfriend knew that his thirst for alchohol could be linked to the way his body uses sugar, it might help him feel better about seeking treatment.

Before I ever heard about the link between alchoholism and hypoglycemia, I knew a man who could only stay sober if he had desert every day after lunch.

" Desert" as in hot, dry and parched? or "Dessert" as in afternoon Delight?

Thank you for correcting my spelling. I meant "dessert". I think the "dessert" was supposed to keep him from feeling "dry and parched".
