What Is a Probation Violation?
The prosecutor or probation officer can file a petition to revoke probation by alleging you violated a term of probation. This can happen if any of these situations occur while you are on supervised or unsupervised probation after being sentenced:
- Being arrested for a new offense
- Failing a drug test
- Not reporting to or checking in with probation officer
- Missing court-ordered rehabilitation or counseling appointments
- Not paying restitution or fines
- And more
A petition to revoke probation must be filed during the probationary period or before the earlier of the following:
(A) One (1) year after the termination of probation.
(B) Forty-five (45) days after the state receives notice of the violation.
