Hello.
I'm a 43 year old husband and father of 2. I was a casual drinker. On July 29th I got pulled over for a burned out license plate light and was arrested for DWI (first offense). I went through the process and received 10 days in jail, AA 5 times a week, 18 months probation and SCRAM for 90 days. I made the decision to stop drinking completely and have not since my arrest in July. All has been going very well until January 9th when I received a summons to appear for probation violation. They stated I had a SCRAM obstruction on Jan 5 from 7:28am to 9:13pm and they detected alcohol but not enough verify a drinking event. I am completely innocent and have the people to prove it. However I am scared to death. My 90 days are up on January 18th. Now I have a court date on that day. I need to defend this to prove my innocence. I requested my recorded data from House Arrest Services but they will not comply. My PO says she does not have that information. Why was I not contacted immidiately by my PO or House Arrest Services with my SCRAM alerts? By the time I received notice it was too late for me to get a blood test to help in my defense. Intentional? Ironic how everything was fine until just before my 90 day sentence is up. I have been living life as a hermit to avoid the probility of such an occurance. I am a mechanic by trade and use a variety of chemicals and cleaners at work but it never has caused a problem. Due to the cold temps that week I was wearing long underware which are tight and held the bracelet in one position so I doubt the possibility of an obstruction. What can I do?? My family and I are scared to death and just want this to be over. HELP!!
