What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
In 1998, when I was 18 I was charged with petty theft under $50. I was given 6 months probation and a fine, and i had to take a class. I was unable to pay the fees. This happened in Fort Myers, FLorida. Now 11 years later I live in Orlando, FL , and about 5 weeks ago, the police knocked on my door.
I was arrested, paid the $500 bail and now I'm still waiting for the Fort Myers court system to tell me when I have to appear in court. They keep telling me to check back next week.
What I would like to know is what potential charges may I recieve for probation violation.
The petty theft is the only trouble I have ever gotten into. Will I recieve probation again, or could I recieve jail time? I will have to travel from Orlando to Fort Myers and would like to know so that I can have everything in my life taken care of before I go to court.
