DV Probation Violation

Hello,
I am from Michigan. In 2001 I was convicted of Domestic Violence and sentenced to probation. In the terms of my probation I was to finish a 27 week program in DV counseling. My probation officer sent me to a 52 week program, more than 30 miles away. That costed me alot more money than it should have. Eventually I could'nt make it to the program, and was charged with a violation. After the Judge seen what my probation officer had done, he extended my probation and sent me to a new program. Extending my probation for a whole year. These were not the terms I agree'd to in my plea bargin. I do not understand how he can do this. Needless to say I could not afford this program either. Now I have a warrant for my arrest. Its almost been 3 years. Is there a statute of limitations? The police came to my door, while I was not home looking for me. I only had a bench warrant. I didn't think they could come to my house looking for me?(stated as a question)

Thank you for any answers and advice you can give!

Sicerely, Xander McKinney

"Is there a statute of limitations?"
*** No.

"The police came to my door, while I was not home looking for me. I only had a bench warrant. I didn't think they could come to my house looking for me?(stated as a question)"
*** Yep. Once a warrant is issued against you, they can take you whenever and wherever they find you.

"Thank you for any answers and advice you can give!"
*** You're welcome. Now, contact the police and get this taken care of at YOUR convenience..... so that it isn't at THEIRS.

Thank you JetX! I appreciate your quick reply. Just one more quick question. I want to have time to find a laywer before turning myself in. Does my wife have to let them in to search, without a search warrant? Im sorry for my ignorance. And thank you once again!

*** Yes and No. If they have a 'fugitive warrant' out on you and suspect you are on premises, they can search. However, if they just happen to 'come by', no they cannot search.
