probationer

Overheard a bench conference about a motion to revoke a felony probation while standing in line waiting to talk to the judge this week.

Putting the pieces together, the story went something like this:

An out of town felony probationer, who was charged with misdemeanor shoplifting, who had just a few weeks left before completing said probation, called me nearly in tears asking me whether or not I thought the probation might expire before “they” found out about the potential new arrest.
