What will happen if I’m on probation for selling marijuana and at my drug evaluation for counseling I tested positive for alcohol?
I consumed a couple beers at my house the night before. The counseling center will be reporting to my probation office. What will happen to me?

You need to speak with your attorney on the original matter as soon as you can. A violation of the terms of your probation could lead to a revocation of probation, the imposition of stricter conditions or even jail time. You need to abide by the terms for the time set. Get help.
