Post: Violation of Probation

Posted by Nicole on 11/01/07

I am wondering what the normal punishments are for
violating probation. Here is the situation....my boyfriend
was on probation for underage drinking and possesion of
cannabis. He served 20 days in weekends and was also put
on probation. While on probation, he was arrested for
driving on a revoked license and they found drug
paraphinalia in the vehicle. He had court yesterday and
was fined for the paraphinalia. They sentenced him to 270
days for the probation revocation and driving while
license was revoked. This is only his 2nd time driving
under his revoked license. The minimum is 10 days jail for
driving on revoked license. Why is he getting such a long
sentence just for the probation revocation when his
original sentence for which he was under probation was 180?
