Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Re: Violate Probabtion

A probation violation may result in the court imposing the sentence that could have been imposed at the time the defendant was granted probation. In the case of a Class 6 felony committed after 1 July 1993, that's 12 to 18 months imprisonment.

The violator can run, can hide, but can't wait out the bloodhounds; there is no statute of limitations on a fugitive.

It doesn't sound as if the authorities have to come looking for this particular fugitive: if the person applies for a driver's license, he or she is telling the authorities where to come and get me.

Re: Violate Probabtion

A class 6 Felony must be a Colorado designation. Pennsylvania has 1st, 2d, and 3d degree felonies which are treated seriously. If the crime was committed in Pennsylvania and the time was served here, then the police are probably looking for him and if he gets picked up for any reason, even a traffic violation, they will probably arrest him and he will be extradited back here and charged with a parole violation.

Since you indicate he was undergoing urine analyses, it sounds to me like it is possible a possession charge which would be a misdemeanor here. In that event, I'm not sure if either state would extradite him. He may still be on probation because he did not pay court costs. If this person was me, I would check with the attorney who represented me in Colorado and ask.
