Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee

First, check and see if a warrant has been issued.

In Montgomery County, Tennessee you can look that up online,

just go to this website:

http://www.mcgtn.org/sheriff/warrant-search

If the probation was not in Montgomery County, see if that county has an on-line warrants search

web page; or try a call to the county sheriff and ask for

"Criminal Warrants Division" and ask if there is a warrant outstanding.

Also, the clerk of the appropriate court can tell her if a violation of probation warrant

was filed against her.

If there is a warrant outstanding, there is almost no chance that probation will

be transferred / moveuntil the defendant has been served with the warrant.

I would suggest your friend check with her original attorney, who can tell her

- if there is a warrant, and/or;

- if her probation has expired without a warrant being timely filed.

If probation has expired, and her non-reporting "slipped through the cracks" and

wasn't noticed by her probation officer (that happens a lot with "report by phone"

defendants) then she is safe from a warrant. A misdemeanor period of probation cannot

exceed 11 months and 29 days, so it may well be that her probation simply "ran out"

even with her non-reporting.

If there is no warrant, and probation has not expired, then she should immediately

call her probation officer and try and get things right.
