What is probation?
After sentencing a defendant, a judge may elect to suspend the sentence or part of it and place the defendant on what’s called “probation.” A probationer is typically supervised by Bonneville County Adult Probation. A probationer is subject to searches, drug testing, and counseling and/or any other special terms and conditions that the judge may require.
