Re: Parole

Once you were released on parole, you fall under the parole violation umbrella. Assuming no new charges and ONLY a parole violation for failing to report, You could face up to a year for a violation.

Obviously, given the underlying charge and you absconding, they're not going to look too kindly on this situation.
