I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area. You are going to need to hire a lawyer becasue the arrest triggers a violation of probation. There will be a hearing on this, which is separate from the new charge you describe. With respect to the new charge, a note will not be sufficient unless the state's atty says so. With respect to the arrest itself, I would have to see the police report to determine whether the police officer has the right to stop and search the car. there are a lot of issues here to get over before you starting thinking about a deal. With respect to the bond, you need to find out if you can get a bond hearing asap. Hire a lawyer in town and get him the police report and the facts as i dont have enough here to give you difnitive directions.
