In West Virginia, fleeing from police can result in serious legal consequences. If the act of fleeing creates a risk of injury or death to any person, it is classified as a felony, which can lead to a sentence of one to five years in prison. If the fleeing is considered a misdemeanor, the penalties can include up to a year in jail and/or fines. The specific circumstances of the incident, such as whether it involved a vehicle, can influence the severity of the charges and penalties.

Believe it or not, you cannot get extra jail or prison time just for fleeing from a probation violation. You can for the VOP itself, but there's no difference whether you get arrested immediately, turn yourself in, or flee/abscond. Of course at any time you can be arrested, and it often happens when you least expect it.
