dui while on probation-first meeting

[ttim]

What is the name of your state? Georgia

Last week, I was convicted of reckless driving on an arrest from Dec. 2003.
I was given a years' probation, and see my probation officer for the first time this morning, 11/23/04.

This weekend, I was arrested on a dui/reckless driving charge, which of course violates my probation. Do I have to reveal this to the probation officer this morning, will he/she ask me if I've violated my probation yet? If he/she asks, do I tell the truth, and if I do, what happens, since I don't go to court for another month, so I've not been convicted yet?

Thanks

You have nothing to worry about. Your PO will not ask, and you do not have to reveal it to him, he will tell you. That fact that you are not now in jail means that he will probably not put you there until you go to court. I would advise you not to even go to court, because they cannot convict and sentence you until you do.

Good luck to you, my friend.
