Parole Violations
You’ve made it this far, but the road’s not over yet. When you’re out on parole, staying on your best behavior is vital. If you are caught violating parole, you could quickly find yourself back in court and facing some stiff penalties.
There are many actions that can be construed as a parole violation, including but not limited to:
- Failing to appear in court
- Failing a drug test
- Failing to pay required fines
- Failing to complete community service
- Associating with known gang members
- Associating with known felons
- Possession of a firearm or weapon
- Possession of illegal or contraband drugs
If you are charged with violating parole, you will have to attend another parole hearing where a judge will determine whether extra penalties are required. If you are found guilty, you could be sentenced to fines, community service, Cal-Trans work, drug treatment, extended parole, or even additional time back in prison. With so much on the line, you need the defense of an experienced Bakersfield criminal attorney.
