53 Questions Answered
- Q. Charged with assault & battery 3rd degree in SC; no prior assault charges. Court appearance not required. Outcomes & need for lawyer?
- A: An arrest for assault and battery 3rd degree in SC carries a maximum potential penalty of thirty (30) days in jail or a fine of up to $500 or both a fine and jail time. There are defenses to this charge and it sounds like there may be evidentiary issues as well. Consulting an experience criminal defense attorney is recommended to completely understand the potential outcomes and consequences of how the case is handled and resolved while protecting your rights.
- Q. Impact of Georgia probation violation on South Carolina probation
- A: One of the many conditions of probation is that the person is not to be rearrested. This is an interesting condition as most people do not want to be rearrested. But with a new charge the probation agent could decide to hold an internal meeting and then could decide to petition the Court for a violation of probation hearing based on this allegation. Just because a person is on probation does not mean that they lose all of their rights and due process. An experienced criminal defense attorney should be able to help work to resolve this issue while protecting your rights.
- Q. What is a PPB active warrant in SC?
- A: It sounds like your husband has an FTA (failure to appear) bench warrant which a person cannot bond out of jail on this warrant. Either the FTA warrant must be lifted or the case must be resolved to be released from custody. The "PPB" warrant is either for the Dept of Parole, Pardon, and Probation Board or it is "PPP" which refers to the small business loan that was given during the covid pandemic. An experienced criminal defense attorney should be able to help advise your husband on the best course of action to take in an effort to resolve these issues.
