I would really like to know this as well because I'm facing the EXACT same thing! I have several Class A Misdemeanor charges in Walworth as well as Waukesha co. They want to give me a year in jail for my offenses. I've decided to not show up since I live in IL. I'm on probation in IL and MO. But NOT WI...so I'm wondering this as well.
Misdemeanors... probably not. It should be pointed out though that your statue of limitations will never expire. Wisconsin's statue of limitations laws state that if you leave the state your time does not accumulate. That means that you are still on the hook twenty or thirty years from now.
Probation is not a crime but does stay on your record, just as the crime that was committed.
The difference between felony and misdemeanor probation is the felony is when a person is sentence to a jail term, but it can be served out of jail. The misdemeanor probation is not given jail time. They serve a probation period.
It depends entirely as to whether you are on misdemeanor probation or felony probation.
Hi! No this does not mean you have to go to jail. You might depending on the charges, but for most misdemeanor charges probation will suffice. When it happened to me, I was on probation for 2 weeks, until I fulfilled my requirements given by the judge (a class for the crime I committed).
No.
USUALLY a misdemeanor BUT, it can be either. It depends on what the original crime and sentence was. Also: What was the violation that caused the VOP? If it was the committing of a crime, THAT would be a separate offense altogether.
Check w/ your probation officer. It will depend on the terms of your probation.
What is meant by "clean?" Probation(in lieu of jail) IS the sentence for whatever offense you committed. Your criminal record will always show it as a conviction. Simply by completing a term of probation your record is not "cleared" or made "clean."
It will be a class c misdemeanor
Yes.
If you are on probation for a felony and commit the same crime it is a felony. If you are on probation for a misdemeanor and commit the same crime it usually will be a misdemeanor. The exception is in some States a third misdemeanor offense for the same crime can be prosecuted as a felony. For example Stealing 3rd Offense or third offense for driving while revoked. This differs from state to state.
Yes.
