There is a likelihood that he will do the balance of his probation in the facility where he begain his sentence.

Ok so in posey county IN my fiance got pulled over by a state boy he was driving on suspended again he was considered a habitual last august was about to be off probation in 2 days but he also got resisting arrest and fleeing the sceen so will he go to prison im so scared

Not a good situation. It sounds like you are more scared of prison than he is. "Considered a habitual..." is not going to read well by the judge making the decision. He will sit in county for awhile, for sure.

5.25 oz. Meth charge, obitual offender, DEA picked charge up. What is the time we are looking at min. Thru max? Is there anything we can do due to my health to get him home

There is very little you can do the slow down the process or create a scenario due to your ill health that will save him from what will be a sure prison sentence. If the DEA is involved, this will be a federal charge. The minimum sentence are not usually reserved for the habitual offender. That is reserved for first-time offenders. If he has a criminal history that included jail time the federal judge will use that to increase the

MY SISTER IS lookin at poss of heroin less than a gram, second degree burglary, criminal mistief, poss meth paraphanalia and possible child endangerment all in Colorado, also her husband has same charges and was out on bail for other charge at the time of this arrest.. any rough ideas on minimum time they will get

This is hard to estimate without some idea of their criminal history and the exact language in the arrest document or indictment. On it's face, the child endangerment charge complicates the entire picture. The judge has a lot to consider when there are children involved. Both parents have problems and this judge will concentrate on the well-being of the child first. If this is an early episode in their criminal history they might give a diversion program in lieu of

my bf has tampering with evidence (felony since its his third one, he threw marijuana out the car), theft and criminal mischief. the criminal mischief got him 30-45 days in county, and they gave him 8 months state jail for theft and 4 years for the tampering. by the time he leaves county he'll have 8 months total back time, and the state and tdcj time run concurrent. what do you think he'll end up doing?

The TDCJ sentence of four years will be 85% of 48 months. The total time to service with ZERO incident reports would be 40.8 months. If he serves 8 months in county, he will have 32.8 months remaining at his TDCJ facility

We thank you for sharing your information, you've got a lot going on. The lawyer that is handling his plea agreement would know what the negotiation range is. On it's face, 25 to life seems high unless there is more to his criminal history than this. If he is considered a low-risk inmate, he could do time in the camp which is not hard time. It's just dealing with a lot of boredom. Good luck

my bf has 3 charges, criminal mischief, tampering with evidence (felony since it's his 3rd one) and theft. They gave him 8 months for the state jail (theft) and 4 years for TDC (tampering). His terms are running concurrent, and right now he's in county for a month-45 days i suppose for the criminal mischief, but after he leaves county he'll have a total of 8 months back time. They told me he would do tdc first and then state jail. What do you think he'll end up doing? He has no tattoos, hes not gang related and has no aggravated charges, not even in his past. He comes from a good family, just made bad choices being the black sheep of the family

All of the time he is doing will beneficially count towards that end total of four years. What is the difference between "state and TDC"? If we are reading this correctly, he has a total of 48 months, at 85% he will do almost 41 months and then be released.
