Re: probation violation

Well--tell me how you talked yourself out of another driving
while intoxicated charge. Either you are the luckiest or
most silver tongued son of a gun in the world.

I assume you had a valid license to drive at the time you
were pulled over. A non-criminal traffic violation should
not affect criminal probation. You must be given a due
process revocation hearing. That means the state must
produce some admissible proof that you violated your
probation.

For goodness sake and the safety of others; DON'T EVER DRINK
AND DRIVE AGAIN!
