Probation Violations: An Overview


If you are granted probation in place of jail time, you must follow a number of specific requirements. Any failure to adhere to the specific terms of your probation could result in your immediate arrest, the revocation of your probation, and your continued incarceration for the duration of your sentence. You could also be facing fines, an extended sentence and other penalties.

Common types of probation violations include:

  • Failure to check in with your probation officer
  • Getting arrested for an additional offense
  • Failure to complete court-ordered counseling
  • Failure to pay court-ordered restitution or fines
  • Failure to show up for mandatory drug or alcohol testing appointments
  • Failing a drug or alcohol test
