I was arrested while on probation.It was for a D.U.I.The police keeped me in jail over night then realesed me on a 1,000 bond. When I was first put on probation I had a diffrent last name then what I do now.I am wondering is that why the probation officer has not found out?When they check they are using that original last name.That is one of my main questions would they be able to find out I was arrested in a diffrent county under a diffrent last name.It has been a month since this happend and so far the probation officer does not know.The lawyers I have spoke with have told me not to tell the probation officer anything.One lawyer told me the way the probation officer knows you have been arrested is the jail you are arrested in calls them.If they called them dont you think by now they would have put out a warrent for my arrest? I have court next week.Will the judge even know about the probation in a diffrent county? Please help... Thanks -

Lots of times the Probation officers miss arrests if the names are XXXXX XXXXX the best thing you can do is get the thing handled as quickly and quietly as possible. Hire a local lawyer to help you and maybe you'll slide through one of the holes in the system.However, don't lie under oath about anything because that makes it even worse.Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

When I show up to court next week what exactly does the judge know about me? Is it just my driving record? Would he have been able to pull up I was on probation or would he even know being is it is a diffrent last name and the probation officer does not even know.Thanks I am really nerved up.I just dont want to show up to court and have pressure applied to me by the judge asking me a million questions.I just want to go and pay the fine and get outta there.One more question and I think this will be the last do you think being is it is my first D.U.I that the judge would make me do jail time being is I was already in jail over night when I was arrested or do you think he is more worried about the fine and community service.I just dont know how harsh a first time D.U.I is? Thanks a million.....
The judge shouldn't know anything about you other than what the DA has filed. They don't do any checking on their own and most don't even look at the files for initial hearings. A first time DUI is normally probation as well, rarely just a fine and go on. Sometimes a lawyer can get it reduced down to Public Intoxication or something like that.Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

What does the DA usually put in the file to the judge?Is it your driving record.Can the Da pull initial hearing records?Remember this is a diffrent county. thanks-
The DA can pull anything, but most of them don't mess with it until after the initial hearing. The judge doesn't have his own file, it is the court file that he has.Thank you for allowing me to assist you.
