Q. Can you be charged with escape if officers leave the bullpen doors and hallway doors unlocked and you walk out?

January 13, 2014

A: Regardless of the lapse in judgment on the Officers part, if you are being detained for any reason with our without restraining devices, you are committing a crime by attempting to leave. Your fiance was clearly aware that he was in custody, so its no defense that the Officers removed his shackles, cuffs, and left doors open. Your fiance was properly charged with escape.

Q. Can I purchase a rifle for hunting if I have a class B misdemeanor for indecent exposure and am off probation?

January 13, 2014

A: To my knowledge Indecent Exposure has no Handgun ramifications. A background check will be performed before your purchase of any handgun, so you will know at that time for sure.

Q. I live in greenville tn and i am on a probation can i move to SC and be switch to another probation office

January 13, 2014

A: You can be switched to another Probation Company, but you must first consult with your Probation Officer to ensure that moving wouldn't violate your probation and to ensure you can be set up for probation in the State you are moving too. Good Luck!
