Question

My husband is being detained at the Toombs County Jail, Lyons GA for a probation violation that restitution and fines have already been paid. He was originally arrested by Comer PD for a child support warrant that held a $500 payoff at which has been paid to Child Support Recovery in Elberton GA. The probation officer (not who handles his file as it was transfered closer to his residence) that visited him stated she was requesting he be detained until he could be transported to complete his sentence that was suspended by his original probation officer. He has been in Toombs County for now 11 days and hasnt even been provided with what violated his probation nor has he seen the judge that held scheduled court 4 days after he was booked and her next scheduled court is quickly approaching and he has been provided nothing. A probation was made mention to me recently however I dont have enough information to inquire about perhaps getting one for him as he is the sole care giver for his terminally ill grandmother. She doesnt have the extra funds to hire a care giver so we see after her however my job maintains very unpredicatble hours and I am unable to do what he normally does. Desperately seeking any information

Answer

Your husband has been in jail 11 days and you didn't hire a lawyer 11 days ago? That's amazing. You had a legal emergency 11 days ago. Turn off the computer and hire a lawyer immediately. Posting online will do nothing to help him in court.

Answer

What information are you seeking. I'm sure the probation officer did not arrest him for no reason. The probation officer will enumerate all of the reasons on the violation of probation petition. He has only been in jail for eleven days. In the next eleven days, you will see a petition and all of yoru questions will be answered. If you need to know before that retain an attorney and have him go to work to get the info from the probation officer. good luck.
