Can You Get Bail on a Probation Violation in Kansas?
If you have been arrested for probation violation in Kansas, there is a high chance you will serve some time in jail. While getting bail on probation violation is difficult, it is not impossible.
About Probation and Probation Violation
Depending on the severity of the charges, first-time and low-risk offenders might be sentenced to probation instead of serving jail time. However, if you violate the terms of your probation, you can be arrested and sentenced to serve time.
Probation violations can include:
- Failing to attend a scheduled meeting with a probation officer
- Failing to appear for court or mandated rehabilitation or community service
- Failing to pay court fees or restitution to a victim
- Participating in criminal activity
- Traveling outside the region restricted by probation without permission
- Using drugs or alcohol
A first violation of probation might result in being issued a warning. However, after your first warning, you will likely attend a court hearing where a judge will decide whether you will be fined or have your probation rescinded – sending you to jail.
Getting Bail on Probation Violation Charges
Your chances for getting bail on probation violation charges will depend on why you were arrested. For example, if you were caught committing a crime while on probation, your chances for bail decrease. If you have multiple past offenses, the chances are even lower that you will be allowed bail. If you are eligible for bail, the price will likely be higher than it would be if you were not on probation.
