MICHIGAN
Okay here is my issue, at 17-18 I had a few MIP`s two for alcohol, one for tobacco and a couple driving violations, very minor ones though..I was a young dumb teenager, and dint pay the tickets, or go to court, I left state and stayed out of Michigan for 12 years.
Well I eventually wanted to have a legal drivers liscence, so I returned to Michigan to clear up these charges, and thats when my hell started.
I was ordered to pay over 3300.00 in fines and fees, as well as being sentenced to 2 days of work program for the tobacco charge and 250 hours community service and probation for one of the MIP`s.
I was given 10 months to do the community service, but I still had no liscence beause I had two tickets to still pay off in yet another state although all of my Michigan suspensions are now lifted. Well without transportation to community service, getting rides from other people and such I only completed 67 hours and its been a year now.
My probation officer violated me, but heres the great part.. I DIDNT GET THE COURT NOTICE IN THE MAIL- not the courts fault, but where I live with my dad and step family, its very chaotic, messy and there are three kids there, so anyways some how the letter got lost, and I didnt know i had a warrant until a month after the court date. ( I did get the letter stating a warrant has been issued however) -
I have called the courts and have been told I have a 500.00 bond, and if I come in without that money I will likely be held for three weeks until the new court date. So for now I am working, part time trying to save money, and still not driving. My question is this, does anyone know what the likely penalty will be for my violation?
It is my first, and Im on non-reporting probation. I do not use alcohol or drugs, I have had no other criminal violations.. I have judge Asidorian in Rochester court.. she was not nice when I first saw her, she was very angry that it took me 12 years to take care of this.. And now here I am, continuing to be unresponcible.. Im sorry but its hard.. Im below the poverty level with no real family help at all.. what do you think they will do?? IM scared as hell to go to jail.. I was told that maybe I would be sentenced to jail for the remaining 193 hours i didnt complete... Im not sure.. any ideas guys????
