My brother was drinking with a friend sometime last year ?August 2003. His friend dropped him off at his apartment - He was NOT driving. His friend then left. My brother was not able to find his keys and was yelling loudly for his girlfriend to open the door. Neighbors called the police. The police came and took him to the station for disorderly conduct. While at police station, they found a pot pipe on his person. He was arrested. Police called me and I picked him up and took him home.
All was well for many months. He was placed on probation and ordered community service. He went to his probation appointments as ordered. His probation was due to be completed Nov 2004. At his last probation appointment (Tuesday, Aug 24th), his probation officer told him that a random urine test showed traces of POT. They then went to his apartment and searched. They found a pot pipe. He also had a gun at the house. According to the probation officer, he is allowed to have the gun as he has permit, but it was suppose to be locked up.
The probation officer immediately took him to jail. He was not allowed to make any phone calls for 48 hours. Therefore, he was not able to call his family, work, etc. He now has lost his job due to the fact that he missed work and did not call off. His car sat in front of the probation office for 48 hours and racked up $35.00 worth of parking tickets. Apparently his probation officer came in to the jail yesterday, she said that he will meet with the judge on October 7th. He must stay in jail until this date. I am wondering if this is normal procedure. Do they usually take you directly to jail? Are you really not allowed any phone calls for 48 hours? Is there anyway I can get him out of jail before this so that he can work. He has a daughter to support.
