    If the paperwork has already been done and the warrant issued for you, then it is too late to do anything about it. Yes, they can violate you for hanging around whoever they don't approve of or another felon. They don't have to violate everyone if that's your question.

    I don't know how much jail time you are looking at as I don't know what your final disposition paperwork at sentencing said. For instance, you were sentenced to 2 years probation and no jail time. Then if you violated your probation you could very well be sentenced at your probation violation hearing to do the entire 2 years in jail. If you are smart you will get an attorney to help you with this violation.

    Also, not notifying the PO about your new home addess is a violation. You have no excuse not to have called first thing on Monday. There are no excuses. The only excuse that could possibly be acceptable would be you were in the hospital unconscious or dead. Other than that - there are no excuses.

    At the end of the day, they can if they want. And then the judge will decide what he will do about it all.
