Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Return to Jail or Not

My daughter's boyfriend was out on parole, no curfew, had a accident on a bike. The bike was stolen, he did not know because his cousin gave him the bike because he sold my daughters friend bike when he was in jail. My daughter said she knows that her boyfriend will not tell who/where he go the bike. Records should show the bike stolen before my daughters friend got out. He did not have license or insurance with him. Will he have finish out his time or will extra time be added to his time. Thank You.

Re: Return to Jail or Not

It is unclear to me whether this is in NJ or PA, or whether the parole is from NJ or PA. In any case, the answer written by Attorney Aronds is correct. He certainly has a defense to the receiving stolen property charge, but he will most likely have to reveal where he got the bike. They may believe him that he didn't know it was stolen if he tells the truth, and not go through with charges against him. He needs to hire an attorney to negotiate with the DA, but he has to be willing to cooperate.

Re: Return to Jail or Not

By bike I assume you mean a motorcycle. If it turns out that the motorcycle was stolen and your daughter's boyfriend was caught driving it, then he can have a new charge of "Receiving Stolen Property" filed against him if the police or his parole officer want to do that. This is a felony and if he is convicted he can be sent back to jail for a violation of probation to finish out his original sentence and could also do more time on the new charge. He definitely needs a lawyer if a charge of receving stolen property is brought against him. Not having a license or insurance card on him are just traffic tickets, so I wouldn't worry about them. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to this in New Jersey in the past. Please call me at 1-908-272-0111 to discuss this matter with me.
