so, he hasn't been adjudicated? If he hasn't actually pled, then I *believe* they can hold him. (An example--person picked up on Friday night for first offense Domestic Violence HAS to see the judge before being rlsd. So, assuming the court is in session on Monday, the person would spend the weekend in jail, or until the court/judge is hearing cases again)
And you're positive, without a doubt that the two charges (assuming there are two since two jurisdicitions)? Some charges ^^^^see above require adjudication prior to release.
Here's the story:
He is on probation for unrelated charges to the new charges (Newton County)
He was arrested for new charges (simple battery) (Cobb County)
He does NOT have a probation hold at all nor does he have any warrants
The prosecutor is coming to see him tomorrow for a plea bargain.
He has had first appearance
He want to get out and is thinking about pleading guilty so he can get out
The jail know he is on probation in another county
Again NO holds or warrants
If he accepts the prosecutors bargain and can be released, can the jail hold him even though he has NO probation hold and call the probation county to place a hold?
Can the jail hold him and send him to the probation county even though there is not a probation hold just because he is on probation?
