The failed urine test is a major problem. Bond revocations mean that the offender will have to remain in jail until the disposition of the case. There will be no further bond offerings. The sooner they can get the case heard - the sooner the offender will know what their future holds. The options are that they get released or the imposition of a sentence which will include the time they are currently serving awaiting the results.
