Good luck mate, really hope the probation guys gave you a chance and you don't end up rattling in the tank.
Wow- perhaps your legal issues aren't as bad as you think. I honestly don't know anyone that's able to change dates up and get around their PO like you. In NJ you'd already be back in jail since monday. Maybe they're more lenient where you live or it's not as bad as you think. There are no changing dates and appts in my town. They'll take any excuse they can get to throw you back in and add more on to your fines. I completely disagree with this form of rehabilitation but that's how it is here. Use that to your advantage and come clean with your PO it seems like they want to believe you and help and aren't out to get you. Our justice system is sickening. I just watched a movie (true story) about a couple that kidnapped a woman for 7 yrs and killed another. After 7 yrs the wife helped her escape and got full amunity bc she testified against the husband. How does that happen? Yet an addict whom hurts themselves and not others is thrown in jail. Meanwhile, the couple stored this woman in a wooden box under their bed. The husband was into s&m so the wife helped kidnap someone so she didn't have to do it with him anymore. The whole thing infuriates me that she got off and addicts go to jail.
I could possibly stay at a shelter, but I just can not stand them. They're worse than jail to me.
I most likely will go to a ward then turn myself in when it gets closer to my court date so I don't go to jail for long if they decide to just waive my fees or something.
w0w0mg - how are you doing? Where are you staying? I know Greenville is flooding right now and it's going to get worse by wed - the river will crest at 27ft. If you're not somewhere safe now, get there ASAP. I know you have said you will be homeless...if the hotel makes you leave and you have nowhere else to stay the area out by the community college shouldn't be totally under water and would be walking distance from the hotels on Greenville Blvd or Memorial Dr.
I lived there in 1999 when it flooded out (river crested at 29ft) and it was terrible. If you are going to come to Wilmington to stay with your family check to make sure there is an open route and leave immediately while there is a window of opportunity. I wouldn't completely trust maps with road outages - call the highway patrol and discuss your intended route before leaving to verify the roads and bridges are still accessible.
Please update this thread and let us know you're okay.
