Get a criminal defense lawyer on your son in law side. Your lawyer will tell you not to speak to the police. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.

Your son-in-law must have been convicted if he is on informal probation. You have no recourse in this situation.

If your son got informal probation he had to plead to it and it would now be difficult to undo what he has down. Informal or court probation does not usually carry with it any onerous tasks. If you wish you can e-mail me privately specifying what the tasks are and I will tell you if that seems out of line. In general if there is any room for a jury to find a person guilty, court probation is a good resolution.
