Re: Jail time?

There is a very good chance that you can smooth this over without further problems, but your chances are greatly improved if you have a lawyer. Without warning your PO could file a revocation and turn it all upside down. It is worth the $1000 to have an attorney get the check charge dismissed, and talk to the APO to not revoke your probation.
