QUESTION
Will a prisoner have additional time to serve after prison sentence if there is a probation violation related HOLD on him.
Asked on Jan 02nd, 2020 on Criminal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
My son crashed a car into a wall then ran from Police (he blacked out and doesn't remember what happened). He was on Probation in the adjacent county when this happened. There was a HOLD on him when he was arrested and sentenced to 1 year in prison. Can he get a Motion to transfer - so he can appear before a Judge for the Probation violation- while he is serving the year? Or will they make him serve the year and then possibly do additional time when he is judged for the Probation violation? Can a Public Defender help him - get a Motion to travel?

Was the warrant served or is there only a detainer?
If only a detainer, then he doesn't get credit for the time served.
A PD has to be appointed by the Court and that would nnot occur until he is back in front of a judge in the other county,
You should hire an attorney to get him back to the attorney.
