What happens if I receive a probation violation in Maryland?
A variety of acts can cause you to receive a probation violation in Maryland, including committing new crimes and association with known criminals. If you have violated the terms of your probation, you are likely wondering what may happen. Here, a lawyer discusses a few of the possibilities for violating your probation in Maryland.
Receive a Warning
Your probation officer may feel that your violation wasn’t that serious, and you may only receive a warning from him or her. A warning is usually the least severe penalty you can receive for a Maryland probation violation.
Go Back to Court
Your probation officer may feel that your probation violation warrants another trip to court for a probation violation hearing. The judge may alter the conditions of your probation, or require you to face harsher penalties, such as fines or jail time.
