Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
I was on probation for resistance of arrest in san jaoquin county, and I was arested 2 years later for resistance of arrest, and drunk in public in stanislaus county. What do you think will happen?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The new drunk in public charge would be a violation of probation. If you're convicted, the judge could give you anything up to the maximum sentence for the resisting charge, minus credit for any time you've already served, in addition to any punishment for the new case.
Any stranger on the Internet who tries to predict what will happen is pulling the answer from a place where the sun never shines. Every case is different and the outcome depends on way too many factors to cover on an Internet forum. I can't even tell if you were charged with resisting under Penal Code �148.9, misdemeanor with a maximum of a year in jail, or Penal Code �69, which can be a felony with up to three years in prison.
You need an attorney who can get all the facts and give you informed answers. If you can't afford to hire your own lawyer, the judge will appoint one when you go to court.
