Violation of Probation with Another Felony
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
If someone is on felony drug probation and they get arrested for another felony (lewd and lascivious battery), what are the consequences and does the violation of probation affect the second felony charge?

In general, the suspended sentence for the drug offense may be reinstated, possibly to run consecutively with any new sentence; obviously, probation or not, the previous felony is a prior and will count if imposition of the new sentence requires such a consideration
