Deltona, FL Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

Look, you are in serious trouble, here, and you need to make sure that you protect yourself. This is the time to make sure that you subpoena the records of the phone company to show that you attempted to make the calls you attempted to make. You have some good defenses in both law and in fact, so you should be all right if you get good competent counsel who believes in you and your case. I hope that this helps.

You can certainly be prosecuted for making a false police report. We should also consider the fact that if your relationship with your boyfriend is this rocky at this point it probably does not have a significant chance of surviving in the long term. In the meantime however, you should retain a defense attorney immediately.

I presume your boyfriend is represented by an attorney.  If not, why not?  If he cannot afford an attorney (based on state guidelines for indigency), one will be appointed to represent him.  If he is proceeding pro se, or represented by an attorney, he or the attorney (depending on whether is representing himself or being represented by an attorney) can file a motion to set a bond -- and set it for a hearing.  However, I cannot predict how quickly he will have a hearing -- since a defendant is not entitled to bond on a VOP (even if the case that served as the basis for the VOP allegations has been dropped).  Nonetheless, the dropping of the new charge, if that is the only alleged basis for violation, may be enough to convince the judge to set a bond. I often will contact the prosecutor assigned to the VOP case and see if I can reach some agreement with him/her, under the circumstances, to either withdraw the VOP affidavit (which reinstates the defendant on his probation) or to get him to agree that he will not object to a bond being set.  If the prosecutor does not object, the court, in my experience, is much more inclined to set a bond.  Your boyfriend could try to contact his defense attorney -- since he's incarcerated, he may be able to either call (from the jail) -- or, in the alternative, write to his defense attorney requesting to talk to him ASAP about the matter.
