    Default Possible Warrant Due to Probation Violation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arkansas

    My fiancè is currently on probation for DUI and is now detained on a new charge. His probation officer sent a letter stating there will be a warrant issued for him but it is not yet active. I guess what I'm wondering is whether he will be served and released or placed in jail again once he is released on the new charge. These are in different counties. Also, I'm concerned if he is placed in jail it will violate the probation he just received. Any advise would be appreciated.

    I assume he notified his PO promptly of the new arrest? If not, then they may indeed have a hold on him when released for probation violation. If he is found guilty of the new charge, you can sure that's also a probation violation. Just because he's jailed pending a trial on something else doesn't necessarily mean he's violated probation if he played by the rules.

    If the warrant is issued while your bf is still in jail, it will be waiting for him when he is released. Even if he bails out for his new charges in county A, it is likely that county B will pick him up at the jail and book him in county B's jail for the probation warrant. If he does not bail out, the same thing will happen when he is released by county A's court.

    If his PO is the one requesting the warrant, then it sounds like the PO already considers him in violation and is bringing him in for a violation hearing.
