Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

My fianc�e if currently on felony probation. He has a warrant for his arrest that is complete bs. The person that made the report has no intentions of perusing it. But if arrested even if found not guilty will they revoke him? Probation has no knowledge of warrant as of now. But he still has 4 years on probation, he did 3 years in and 7 out. He also used the first offenders act.

Warrant valid until quashed

Crime against State not person who contacted police to get warrant

Arrest will trigger probation hold but hiding out will cause more problems

Probation violations are preponderance of evidence and even if acquitted Judge could still revoke him

You need to contact attorney immediately to work out deal to turn himself in, contact his probation officer, fight the probation violation petition when issued and fight new charges

Burying your head in the sand only makes matters worse and looks bad to Judge also

I have been doing criminal law for over 20 years and I would be glad to speak with you and your fiance'e privately
