I got arrested and I am on probation for petty crimes one which was truly not me the other case I lied to a police officer anyway do I get a bond on the violation or not and these 2 new cases will problably get thrown out what will happen now ? My probation officer said she was going to violate me but she wasn't sure that the court would do the same. I owe 3 years suspended. I have completed my 200 hours community service, I complied with going to aa/na meetings and never missed reporting in 14 months that I have been on probation and no dirty urines and I have a full time job do you think will have

The PO can violate you if you are arrested ( they do not have to wait and see if you are convicted) You can be picked up and held in a probation detention center ( or jail) till you have a hearing before a judge.
At that hearing the judge can send you to prison or jail for the rest of your probation time, or merely for a number of days to teach you a lesson,
Often on minor things they merely put you back on probation, after your time in probation detention since they think this teaches you a lesson.
So you need to go and talk to the PO and see what they are going to do.
They can also merely set a hearing date with a judge on this.
Totally up to your PO.
