What is the name of your state? colorado this is kind of long and goes with the one i wrote in other crimes. Anyway, we all go busted in july 2001, the sheriff published all of our mug shots in the local paper, which to me was wrong, as they never published anyone prior to the bust or published any mug shots of people who were busted after that. Was that legal for him to do? Anyway, I took the plea bargain dropping the sale to possession. With four years probation, adsertive classes, drug and alcohol classes, fines close to $3900 and random ua's. January 2003 I started my classes on Monday nights for the drug/alchol and Tuesdays night for asertiveness. I completed my asertiveness classes, they were only eight weeks long. I went every Monday night from January 2003 thru November 2003 for my drug/alcohol classes. I only had two weeks left to complete the course. I went to class Monday night, Nov.3, 2003, paid my $10.00 and my counselor made me copies of my work cuz i forgot my book. Anyway, i go home after class and my dart league game and approximately thirty minutes later there is a knock on the door, standing there was a sheriff officer with a warrant for my arrest for non compliance. I ask for what and he said that it was for my drug/alcohol classes, that my counselor felt I wasn't getting enough out of the course. I only had two weeks left to complete the course, not only that but I had been terminated oct. 31,2003, yet when i went to class on monday nov. 3, 2003, he didn't tell me i was terminated and took my money for the class and i attended the class as if nothing was wrong. I feel that if he took my money for the class and let me attend then I wasn't terminated because everyone else prior whom he had terminated, they didn't come back or attend another class. I am still going to court over this, I don't feel that I was in contempt if he took my money for the class and let me attend, he was telling me that i was still in his class. Am I wrong to feel this waY? I ask the sherriff officer if i could go in and get my purse so i would have my id, and he said yes and i went in and got it. He carried it to the car, then into the arresting area at the police station. They made me take off my shoes, but nobody was there to pat me down. I was then told to go on into the other area and sit down on the bench and wait to be booke d. in the mean time the officer was searching my purse. This wasn't done in front of me, the next thing I know he said and yound=g lady what is this? I said what is what, and he held up a capsule, and i told him i didn't know what it was, i had never seen it before, well you should he said, it came out of your purse and it looks like meth to me. He told the other officer to take it to the lab to be tested, about 15 minutes later he said, yep it tested positive for meth. I never saw the lab report or the capsule up close. But needless to say not only was i in there for probation violation, but i had another possession charge slapped on me. I wasn't search until 9:30 the next morning, went to my hearing, that is when my probation officer told the judge he didn;t want me to return to my job, and the judge granted it. I was a waitress making $75 - 100 a day in tips, paying my fines every two weeks taken directly out of my paycheck. i went from making $500-600 a week in tips only to nothing. Then March 8, i got arrested again for another probation violation, this time for not showing up for three ua's he said, i only missed one and i called him as i had respirtory, sinus, ear infection, with strep and i was really sick, but he got me for that, not having a face to face meeting with him, when i had call him, for not paying on my fines, and for not paying for the last 6 ua's. imagine that i had to quit my job because of him and i am in trouble for not paying my fines. I did my ua when they arrested me and he said the only thing that saved me was the ua was negative. Now, i am still facing all of these charges, court date on April 21, with a public defender that just took over my case and has no idea what is going on. I agreed to go to rehab and they said they were drop the other possession felony charge. Now my probation officer said they aren't going to. I think I should fight this and take it all the way. Do you think that i would have a chance to win? sorry so long.
