Probation Violations
When a you are sentenced to probation, you must follow the detailes of the sentence. One requirement is reporting to your probation officer on schedule. Another rule may be to take on a particular curfew. Another could be to stay out of trouble and not to get re-arrested.
Failure to adhere to these requirements may result a probation violation. That, in turn, could result in imprisonment – instead of the original avoided punishment of jail. The crime you plead to and received could be revoked and cause a reinstating of the original more hefty charge.
