So...... my friend had a DUI jan 2nd of '08. he had JUST finished his netcare program in Columbus, OH and had to return to see Judge Green to prove all was complete and his probation would be lifted. HOWEVER... since his PO was on vacation, the paperwork was not filed and he had to drop... he dropped dirty for marijuana. He went to court this morning for a revocation hearing (he has been going to AA **ON HIS OWN** and has been sober for 16 days) and they took him straight to jail. his remaining days in jail is 166.... will they make him stay the entire time??? and he has a home that is on chapter 13. is there anything they can do to help him... will he get out early??? he should have been off probation, providing the paperwork was filed on time. it wasnt even his fault!

If your substance abuse is so out of control that you get a DUI, that’s the wake up call that it’s time to knock it off. If you’re still using drugs AFTER a conviction then you get no sympathy, really. Your friend needs a wake up call, not an apologist.
He shouldn’t have been smoking until his probation was lifted. Your probation is lifted when the court says it is, not when you manage to get the paperwork together. The fact that his PO was out of town means NOTHING either because smoking pot in Ohio is illegal regardless of whether your probation is up or not.
He’s been sober for 16 whole days??? Wow, what a star. Was that because his money ran out? He even made it to AA ON HIS OWN??? He’s a superstar then.
My grandmother had a saying for these situations.
Them’s that don’t listen, feels.
And how gullible are you? Tell your friend to stop the excuses and face the facts…he pissed dirty while on probation, and the penalty for that is jail. Even a person with an IQ of 50 knows that.
Sorry no sympathy here…he was clearly in violation of his parole.
