    First what type of crime, some crimes such as DUI have required jail time, so probation is not a option expect after jail time.

    But a person convicted of a crime for the third time often gets probation if the crime did not include a weapon or if the crime did not include any physical harm to someone else.

    The facts the crimes were from another state makes no difference.
