My friend was placed on house arrest after his 2nd or 3rd offense DUI (I believe his 3rd) He was sentenced to 2-1/2 years and only had about a year left. However, I haven't been able to get ahold of him lately and I had a hunch that maybe he was back in jail. Sure enough, I checked online for our states (West Virginia) current inmates and there he was! It says he was booked on 3/2/16 (so it's been over a month), his bail is set at $1,000, and above his name it says PTM - Pretrial Misdemeanor. What does that mean? Did he violate his house arrest or is this a whole new charge?
