Many times, the Court will grant an individual probation rather than a jail sentence.  When placed on probation, certain conditions are put in place that will need to be satisfied before one can be released from probation.  Once these conditions are met, the individual is then released from probation.  However, if one or more of these conditions are not met, a violation of probation warrant can issue for the individual’s arrest.  Some of the reasons that can cause a violation of probation arrest warrant to issue are; failed drug screes, being arrested and charged with a new offense, failure to pay fines and court costs, failing to complete court ordered classes/counseling and for not reporting to probation as directed.
