The charge alone will likely cause the court to review your case, and you can be convicted of a probation violation before you come to trial on the new charge. (The standard for a probation violation is a "preponderance of the evidence", not "beyond a reasonable doubt", so it's much harder to beat one.) Definitely consult a lawyer.
Well I went to court today and got a public defender, but no probation violations came up. The DA said something strange, said Id been charged with possession of a schedule 6 controlled substance, but that's marijuana, not xanax, which is schedule 4.
