I am 19 years old and I went to jail Saturday. Neighbors call in because I was hitting my husband. Which I know is really bad and not right. He said that he was going to dick slap me. I am a christian and I felt really upset that he would say that to me. I have never got in trouble.So when the cops get there they ask me what happened. They asked them if I hit him and I was completely honest. My husband was on the other side telling the other officers his side of the story. He was also honest. They take me to jail for assault. He was not mad and he did not want me to go to jail. So when I left he asked the cops if he could get me out right now and they said no if he wanted to get me out he would have to get me out early in the morning. So my husband bail bond me out of jail. The next day I had to go sign some papers. I had a bond for 1,500. My husband paid two hundred dollars to get me out. They said that I had to go to court about two or three more times. And that I needed to hire an attorney. I am so mixed up right now because I never been in trouble before and all this is confusing and new for me. I don't understand I think they should have got me for disturbing of the peace and gave me a ticket. Since my husband could care less and all. That night when I went to jail they told me I tore my husbands back all up. Looked like finger nail scratches. So I asked my husband to show me the marks on his back and he said he didn't have any. Since he doesn't know very much english he told me that the police told him to turn around and he said they were shaking there head yes. I guess like that was enough to take me to jail. But my husband said that was him making those marks he was scraching his back in front of all of them from the mosquitos. So now I am in Arkansas and I was reading on the back of this card that I got from the bail place it says something about jumping bail. I don't know if that is what I am doing right now because I don't have a house I travel with my husband from state to state city to city where ever they tell him to work. But my drivers licsence has the address where I used to live with my mom. Which is the place I got arrested at. Am I jumping bond. Please read carefully everything I have shared and help me out with the best of your knowledge I am new with all of this stuff. And don't want to be in trouble. What should I do. What do you think about my story can you help me out. Tips and advice accepted please. God Bless you all!! Take care stay out of trouble!
I went to jail for the first time I need tips and advice please help?
Since your description of the facts said that you were bailed out of jail, the commitment you have now is to show up on time for each part of your trial. If you don't, the court will issue a warrant for your arrest and both the police and the bail bondsman will be looking for you.
If you don't have the money for a lawyer, you can request a public defender, but you must show up for your court dates or your situation will go from bad to worse. In a case like domestic violence or assault, the DA can prosecute whether or not your husband wants to press charges. This is a very common situation and does not mean that you are a criminal; just that you have to deal with the consequences.
If you plead guilty or go through a trial and are convicted, my guess is that you will be on probation at a minimum and there could be other penalties such as classes, community service, or jail time. The probation alone may cause you problems, since you say that you travel across state lines to work, while a condition of probation will probably be for you to stay in or near the county you were convicted in and only leave with the permission of your probation officer. You may need to stop traveling for the length of your probation, which could be several years. I went to jail for the first time I need tips and advice please help?
If your hubby isn't pressing charges, they should drop the charges against you.
My guess is that you'll be sentenced to anger management classes. I would also get a lawyer. For the most part, your lawyer can go to most of your trial related things without you having to be there physically.
first off way to long, I have a cousin who got in trouble here in Texas, he lives out in Colorado , he got probation and has to do community service, and was told he could not leave the state, or he would go back to county, this is just from what I was told by him, I'm sure there are several other factors involved, I would say take care of your business here and settle the matter, or find yourself a good attorney, hope it all works out for you, sorry I cant be much help
Storm does not lasts forever, it will stop soon.
When there is no way , Jesus is the way. Trust Him and let yourself loose.
will pray for you.
If you didn't want to be in trouble, you should have acted like the Christian you claim to be and kept your hands to yourself in the first place. Now that you haven't, accept the consequences for your actions.
Jumping bond is when you don't show up for your court dates. Just stay put, because you have more court appearances to make in that area. Ignore Synical. She sounds like one of the KKKristians that are all holy and have never, no never, done anything wrong. If anyone needs dick slapping hahahaha won't finish that sentence.
Yes, you are jumping bond, you are not supposed to leave the state unless you have permission to. You better go back, because if they find out you are gone, you are going to be in jail for good.
I don't know about you, but my bails bondman used to check on me all the time when I got in trouble and had a court date. But that bails bondman finds out you left town, you won't get a second chance, it will be jail untill all your court cases are over.
In any case, stop being embarrased about it. Find a lawyer and have the lawyer contact the prosecutor. You may be able to move the date up or settle the situation out of court or something.
your story sounds completely made up.in a case like this it is not a assault charge. it is a domestic violation charge.your sentence structure is that of a young kid.

Yes, technically you are jumping and they will issue a warrant for your arrest. I suggest you go back to texas and face the music with your husband and a translator so that he can tell them he was the one that scratched up his back. Your other option is to leave the country and never come back.
Take your pick.
WHEN they told you that you need to hire a lawyer, that part is quite TRUE. You need one since you are about to go to court 3x, therefore you must have someone to defend your case or represent you in the eyes of the law.
So what did they charge you with? Assault and battery I suppose. This is the one time I hear or see women hitting husband, mostly in our country women are submissive. But in the US, I suppose anything is possible. I am a Christian too, just like you. Since you are reading the bible, and yes we are all sinners, well at least follow some of the teachings of Christ some how or somewhere could change some or all our bad habits in life. But do not worry this is just a domestic affairs mostly Judge give light sentence if found guilty on these cases, community services and some fine, no jail terms. Your husband is not injuried seriously and he is not dead, so I do not find these TOO ALARMING your case that is. There are more serious ones out there who shoot and killed husband or buried it behind the house etc...yours are just normal for husband and wife, just hire one good lawyer and follow his advice.
First, because it was a domestic dispute and too many women are afraid to charge their husbands, the spouse doesn't have to press charges, the state is charging you. As to the bond, you are in violation of your parole right now because you left the state. If you don,t get pulled over or in any other trouble out of state, you will be ok, but you better make your court dates. If you miss your dates and they find out you left Texas, you could be charged with crossing state lines to avoid prosecution, which is a federal offense, plus the bondsman will hunt you down.
