A Court's collections agent is a cop banging on your door with a bench warrant.
It's a lot more common just to levy on a bank account or seize your tax refund if you have one. Obviously ACP is usually not going to have money, so they'd have to catch it with money in it or put on some kind of ongoing order. Not sure if Virginia does that.

In any event they generally don't lock you up for not paying, but for blowing them off, or in this case for smoking crack.
 
Update for completeness: Austin is now in rehab for failing drug tests with probation. This was announced via his discord after not being online for 30 hours. It is suspected they allowed him a morning "phone break" and he got a message out between calling his mom.

This is after 2 weeks ago, he also failed a drug test and self-claimed that he "broke down crying" to his probation officer about his relapse. At that time he was worried he was going to prison, but was assigned online drug abuse "classes".

My guess here is a progressive strategy towards actual probation violation, with the first failed drug test increasing supervision from visits/drug testing to adding education. Then seeing education not working requiring in person rehab. As neither of these are as-of-yet probation violation charges in the court system, it is unknown by me if these count as violation 1 and 2, or arent a violation at all until heard by a judge. Coded in Virginia law is progressive punitive actions for technical violations such as failed drug tests, with the first two violations prescribed as to not warrant incarceration except in extreme measures. After the third violation any sentence including the original sentence may be enacted by the judge.

A. For the purposes of this section, "technical violation" means a violation based on the probationer's failure to...(vii) refrain from the use, possession, or distribution of controlled substances or related paraphernalia;​
...​
Multiple technical violations arising from a single course of conduct or a single incident or considered at the same revocation hearing shall not be considered separate technical violations for the purposes of sentencing pursuant to this section.​
...​
The court shall not impose a sentence of a term of active incarceration upon a first technical violation of the terms and conditions of a suspended sentence or probation, and there shall be a presumption against imposing a sentence of a term of active incarceration for any second technical violation of the terms and conditions of a suspended sentence or probation. However, if the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant committed a second technical violation and he cannot be safely diverted from active incarceration through less restrictive means, the court may impose not more than 14 days of active incarceration for a second technical violation. The court may impose whatever sentence might have been originally imposed for a third or subsequent technical violation.​
 
From what lolcow says above, I perceive that the Government is tiring of BMJ and are teeing the case up: technical violation 1) failed drug test - condition do online classes and stay clean, technical violation 2) failed drug tests - condition - inpatient rehab. Will violation 3 be getting kicked out of rehab? We shall soon see.

Even if he doesn't get kicked out, it's not going to stop him taking more. Violation 3 is either failed rehab completion or drugs test fail #3.

He's done at least 5 other rehab stints I know of. It's a shame but that's addiction for you.

When judges decide on sentences they look at the defendant's age and are most of his crimes addiction related and non violent ?
They ask "with proper programs and rehab can this person be rehabilitated" ?

So far this is why Bossman has gotten slaps on the wrist.

After he is 30 and charge after charge after charge eventually the judge will decide he is hopeless with no chance for rehabilitation and a repeat offender.
Then it's time for a LONG jail sentence.

Bossman is at that point now and if he doesn't get his shit together fast and be serious about rehab and sobriety, he's headed for a long jail sentence if the judge rules he failed his probation.

The majority of his time served now is for domestic violence.

A summary of convictions (he got a lot of the 20 ish charges nolle pros'ed cus muh heckin white kid on drugs!) If you look up news articles on Austin's prior legal exploits, Austin was caught first with another guy at a gas station (that part was pieced together from a story he told about it) after being chased by a person who's car he broke into. They then gave police information on the other 2 individuals who werent with them. Austin also had pictures of all the highend stuff they stole including a high end watch and fire arms. Austin received the lightest (basically none) sentence of everyone. His attituded, defensive posture, and the sentencing all lead to the conclusion he got special treatment for snitching/cooperating.

News story of Austin getting caught, snitching, light sentence
Based on that information, police found Peterson and Lee at the Star gas station in the upper part of James City County, leading to their eventual arrest. Browser history on Peterson’s cell phone showed he had searched for information on Omega Seamaster watches, one of the items that had been reported stolen after a Sept. 4 break-in.

duckduck "Austin Peterson car break ins" for as much local news as you can stomach.
 
One of his cases is starting to wake up. Be mighty interesting with 2 years of probation yet 3 years as a guest of the state hanging over his head when.
What on earth are you talking about? Cases dont wake up. Please make this post maximally informative.

New filings on April 17, 25.
Are you feeling ok?

I suppose what you are talking about is the Court Appointed Attorney filing the DC40 form to get paid. Its a common form that wasnt worth making an update for. Line number 4 in this example. I wont screenshot the other 2.

Its literally just the bill from the attorney that the court now has to pay. Its not a "case waking up".

There is currently a warrant out for the arrest of Austin Curtis Peterson in the Louisa County Juvenile and Domestic Relations court for Violation of Misdemeanor Probation. As this is related to the existing charges probation, If it so pleases the jannies, I will include updates in this legal thread versus making a new one.

Austin is out on two different probations with two different courts. He is on unsupervised misdemeanor probation with the J&DR court for his two domestic violence convictions from 2024, and on supervised Felony probation for his prior felony drug conviction and felony probation violations. Austin claims to have failed a drug test on Monday 5/12/2025. It would appear that even though the felony probation is handled by a Virginia Department of Justice Probation and Parole out of Charlottesville, and the J&DR probation is handled directly by the J&DR for community based probation, that they are sharing test results.

This is really surprising as probation violations are handled differently in each court, and that jail time typically is not seen until the third (see my previous posts about probation). However with the J&DR court this would be Austin's second probation violation with them. This could also be a mis-file as Austin doesnt appear to be on probation with the J&DR court, at least according to the court information system.

Legally wise what is he facing? If its a misdemeanor wont he have to only serve 50% of the time?

with the J&DR court he's facing violating their probation which is the remainder of the supended sentence. He was sentenced to 6 months, with 90 days suspended. So 90 days. There is no telling if the VADOJ probation and parole will then felony violate him on the felony probation , or if its a "double jeopardy" type situation.
