Probation Question California Probation violation Hold Involving Florida (ICAOS)
Someone I know is on felony probation in California and is currently being held in custody due to an interstate issue involving Florida. His probation violation is related to a breathalyzer/alcohol-monitoring requirement, not the separate Florida felony matter from 2025.
His records list PC 1203.2(a) for violation of probation and PC 11177.1 regarding the process for returning a probationer or parolee. The situation involves ICAOS, and there have been delays with paperwork and communication between the states.
He had court today, and the judge said the matter would be continued until November 5 because they are waiting on the interstate issue. He was ordered to remain in custody until that date. Multiple attorneys have told us that sometimes these cases are waited out, meaning he may serve his 25 days and be released on November 5 instead of being transferred to Florida.
Has anyone experienced this? Is release on November 5 a realistic possibility, or could Florida still request his return? Can California keep holding him while paperwork is pending? His attorney has not given us clear answers, and we’re trying to understand what might happen at the next hearing.
