Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I'm on probation for a 2009 case for failure to redeliver. I was given 6 months to pay off fees and what I owe to rent a center. I've been on for 3 months now, and failed my first random drug test for marijana. And i've never failed before or had any previous cases in the past besides this one. This was yesterday, and I was told that my PO is going to send my results to the lab, and that i'm going to meet with her at my next appointment in jan. I'm so nervous, i dont know if she's going to show up at my job or my house with police officers to take me away. Like I said i've never been in trouble before so i have no idea what to expect. please advise.

You can expect to be arrested at some point for violating probation. However, in the meantime, you should get yourself an attorney. Your attorney may be able to avoid things such as a "no bond" or extensive extra probation, or even a new prison sentence. The judge has the right to sentence you to anything he originally could have, which means up to 5 years prison. Best thing to do now is to talk to an attorney.
