Tampa Criminal Court Cases: probation»

possession of drugs not established
facts: Our client was placed on probation in 1990 for charges of DUI with personal injury and leaving the scene of an accident with injury. Shortly after being placed on probation, the client received a job offer and attempted to transfer his probation to Texas. The client took all the steps necessary to initiate the transfer process, but failed to follow up with his probation officer and the transfer never went through. A warrant was issued for our client but it was never served on our client in Texas. Nineteen years later the client was living in Minnesota and the warrant surfaced again. The client became concerned about the possibility of being extradited to Florida and called out office. 
defense: Although the Statute of Limitations typically does not apply to violation of probation cases, cases this old are very difficult to prove.
results: After discussion with the State Attorney's Office, we filed a motion to withdraw the warrant. At the hearing the judge dismissed the warrant and terminated the probation. Our client was not required to appear in court.
