The LA times article, written by the Associated Press, clearly states that county probation officials were unaware Mewes was approved to work with California probation authorities. The quote is as follows:
"Mewes moved to California without informing the county probation department and has failed to show up for required meetings with his probation officer, county officials said."
But the link below claims the judge approved of it:
"The judge allowed Mewes to serve out his probation in California, where he has moved to focus on his acting career."
It's also extremely unlikely for a revocation parole hearing in a felony case to be held without the court notifying the attorney on record. Did the attorney ignore the notices as well? I'm beginning to question this guy's tactics.
Somebody needs to find out if Mewes attorney blew off the revocation hearing or just wasn't served with the papers. Because Mewes attorney has an legal obligation to make sure he represents his clients best interest in court.
I find it very strange for the attorney on record in felony case to not be notified of a revocation hearing. Usually, the presiding judge and probation people make sure that the attorney on record is ALWAYS notified for such a hearing.
But the attorney didn't show and claims he was "unaware" of the revocation hearing. So the Associated Press is aware of the legal status of the Mewes case, but his attorney isn't?
Something smells fishy here....I'm gonna scoop this story.
