In 1998, when I was 18 I was charged with petty theft under $50. I was given 6 months probation and a fine, and i had to take a class. I was unable to pay the fees. This happened in Fort Myers, FLorida. Now 11 years later I live in Orlando, FL , and about 5 weeks ago, the police knocked on my door.
I was arrested, paid the $500 bail and now I'm still waiting for the Fort Myers County Clerk to tell me when I have to appear in court. They keep telling me to check back next week.
What I would like to know is what potential charges may I recieve for probation violation.
The misdemeanor petty theft is the only trouble I have ever gotten into. Could I recieve probation again, or could I recieve jail instead? I will have to travel from Orlando to Fort Myers and would like to know so that I can have everything in my life organized before I go to court.
I know that everything depends on the judge, but based on what I have said above, can anyone tell me what are the chances that I would get jail time?
