I SEEM TO recall that he is being held without bail for 15 days only -- or, some period of time less than 15 days -- after which time period he WILL be eligible to bail out. BUT . . . don't take this as fact! I could also be confusing this thread with some other case entirely.
MOO-ooo
There is no bail for probation violations.
He has to sit in jail until he sees the judge, who will sentence him for the probation violation. If he gets charged and sentenced for a probation violation, that carries it's own time. In addition, probation violations work like this - the probation officer makes a RECCOMENDATION to the judge, and the judge decides whether to REVOKE probation altogether and just tell the person "you messed up this opportunity at probation, so now you get your original sentence re-instated and do the jail time" or the judge goes AGAINST probation's recommendation and gives him yet another chance to stay on probation and do it right this time.
The judge usually takes probation's recommendation.
In RL's case we saw on the case information sheet at the IN courts website last night that his Probation Officer has recommended his probation be REVOKED.
On Monday, tomorrow**, he will go before the judge for an evidenciary hearing about this. The judge will decide whether to take probation's recommendation and revoke probation or not. If he does NOT revoke RL's probation, he COULD let RL out tomorrow.
If he DOES revoke RL's probation, RL will not be getting out until after he serves his entire original sentence that put him on probation to begin with (a class D felony was one of them, but he had priors that will all stack now IME and AFAIK, plus stack on the new Probation Violation charges to that).
** BUT none of this is quite accurate because RL's lawyer has requested a continuance, so instead of going before hte judge tomorrow, he will just sit in jail longer until the new court date, at LEAST.
IMO regardless of any involement in this case, he's going to do a couple of years probably because I expect IMO that the judge will revoke his probation as per his probation officer's recommendation, and if I recall correctly, his currently suspended sentence that he got probation for instead was two years. That would be reinstated with the past week counting as time served. Also, as previously noted, the new "probation violation" charge's sentence would be stacked on top of that.
hope this helps.
