My son (25+ yrs) was arrested in 2005 for possession (small amt. of pot), pled guilty and was placed on probation. His probation was violated in Oct 2006 and Apr 2006 because he was unable to afford the montly fee they were charging him for drug testing while trying to support a wife and 2 children as a carpenter. Work remained slow, his truck broke down, wife left him, he was evicted and ended up homeless, severely depressed and living on the street. I brought him to Fl. by train this past week but my concern is a court date he has in two weeks in Md. for another VOP for the same reason...money. I cannot afford a round trip there for court, however, my son is trying to get his life straightened out so he doesn't want to get into more trouble for non-appearance. Can he/I write to the court, explain the situation and request that this court proceeding be dropped and also request to have his probation transferred down here?
