My husband just got out of TDC in Dec after doing 8 years, but on Feb 1st he went to jail for DWI and Resisting Arrest. On Feb 25th went to court and Charges were dropped. The only offense the county charged him with was interfere with public duties. Its been 18 days since court and no parole has seen nor talk with him. He is on a blue warrant and only has 10 months left on Parole. How long can they keep him in jail? Can we get the blue warrant lifted?

Answer

There is no bond on a blue warrant and he can be returned to prison for the new arrest. If he is found not guilty on his new charges AND parole does not proceed with the revocation until the new case is resolved, he MAY avoid returning to prison. He will remain in jail until his cases are resolved. Consider having a trial on the new case.
