The Consequences of Probation Violation
If you are in violation of your probation, the judge may issue a warrant for your arrest. There may not be a bond for the warrant, which is called a no-bond. This means you will need to hire a lawyer and request the judge set a bond for you. The bond set will usually be double the original bond.

When in violation of your probation – even for the first time – your probation officer can file a report that will prompt the court to issue a warrant for your arrest. This can happen either for a felony or misdemeanor first-time probation violation. They can then send you to jail to serve your original sentence. This is true whether you are on felony or misdemeanor probation.
