Phone harassment while on prob.

What is the name of your state? WI

Hello Everyone,

Long story short

My ex's gf has a 5 year stayed prison sentence, she served 6 months, and also has 5 years of probation, this is the 4th year of the probabtion.

Last month she harrassed me on my cell phone and my home phone- she was nice enough to leave the messages on my answering machine Due to the nature of the threats in the calls I had contacted the police before I knew who was calling- this woman and I have never spoken words to each other- I had no reason to think she would ever call me. Well we get the call logs from phone company and it is her.

Monday the 26th of this month she is being charged with 9 counts of telephone harrasment, those charges stem from the calls made to my cell phone. The cd from my home answering machine was mailed to the police after the DA had the case from the first calls, so there may end up being more charges....

Is this basically a case of go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200?

You know that we can only guess!! I can tell you this, I currently have an employee who was on probation and was convicted of telephone harassment, little different, he called his ex and told her to get her a$$ outside and get the dog, which was running loose in the neighborhood, he says, she says, he threatened her, long story short, he was convicted, of a misdemeanor, and paid fines only. Different state, different judge, definitely different number of times of harassment.

I know, but I don't have any knowledge of the whole probation thing- so thought I'd throw it out there.....and if it makes any difference the original sentence was for felony drug possession with intent to distribute...her calls to me were clear threats of physical violence, and 3 death threats, and a bunch of other just harassing crap......


and I was always under the assumption that if you were convicted of doing anything illegal while on probation, that it was revoked......

What a nut Well, even if this doesn't send her right back to the big house, she will probably do something else that will

yep- in the calls she did mention my favorite night spots when I'm in town and that I would end up in the hospital if they (her and her friends) ran into me there.....I have no doubt at all that she can't control herself- she also has 4 or 5 disorderly conduct convictions......just one of those types, I don't get it

Revocation of probation does not require a conviction. If the PO or the judge that heard the case before want to, they can hold a hearing to revoke her probation on the allegations alone. That said it is totally up to the discretion of the PO and the court...they could do nothing, send her to jail to complete her suspended sentence (from past crimes), give her reduced jail time or extend her probation.

Thanks Weenor.....I don't know what tweeaked her nose to set her sights on me, but whatever they give her I hope she learns her lesson and leaves me alone**************
