If you do not report this to your PO this is an automatic violation. Before you are formally terminated from probation your criminal record will be run and at that time your PO will know and violate you.

You'll just have to deal with the consequences of being arrested and hope you are not convicted of this new charge.

Sounds like you'll be violated for not telling the PO about the new charge as you must report any police contact to them (even a speeding ticket for instance).
