How Much Time Will He Get for a First Probation Violation?

There is no standard answer for a probation violation sentence because the outcome depends almost entirely on the underlying charge he was originally sentenced for, the nature of the violation itself, and his history leading up to it. A first violation for a technical issue like a missed check-in or a failed drug test is treated very differently from a violation that involves new criminal conduct.

What the judge will look at is the original sentence and what was suspended in favor of probation, the specific terms he violated, and whether there are any other factors in his record that suggest the probation was a bad bet. First violations with no new criminal behavior and a cooperative defendant can sometimes result in a time-served ruling or modified probation conditions rather than a full revocation. But they can also result in the original suspended sentence being imposed in full. It varies.

To find out how much time he received, call the clerk of the court in the Arizona jurisdiction handling his case. Court outcomes are public record and the clerk can tell you what was ordered at the violation hearing. If he has an attorney, that is the first call.

On whether he is still at CCA Florence, you can check the Arizona Department of Corrections inmate search at azcorrections.gov. If his case has been resolved and he has been moved or transferred within the state system, his current location will show there.
