It's impossible to tell what is in the mind of a sentencing judge, but it is entirely possible that you could be remanded to jail. It's very possible that IF the court had known you were wanted on an outstanding warrant at the time you were sentenced to probation, that you may have never even been offered such a lenient sentence to begin with.

Does a felony warrant for a violation of probation ever go away?

No. Once a felony warrant is issued, it has no expiration date. If, for instance, a person violated a felony probation and subsequently fled the immediate jurisdiction until after the original term of the probation, the warrant would still be active and enforceable. Even if the subject(person) of the warrant contested the facts which prompted the warrant being issued, that person would still have to surrender into custody to fight the basis of the warrant. Hiring an attorney to contest the warrant from a distance will also not work, as attorneys are Officers of The Court and obligated to not harbor or assist in concealing a "wanted" person under warrant. In criminal law, the State always preserves the right to impose the maximum sentence up to and until the last say of probation has been served with all conditions being met during that period. It never just "goes away".

Does probation time stop when a warrant is issued?

If a warrant is issued for a violation of probation then the clock stops until probation is either reinstated or revoked in open court. If it is reinstated the amount of time between the violation and reinstatement will be added to the original probation period. Say you are on probation for 3 years and you are 16 months into your term and you violate the terms and ran for 4 months you would still have the 16 months remaining the 4 months would be what they call "dead time".

Yes, of course. If you never completed the terms of your probation, then it hasn't 'ended.' You must fulfill ALL the terms of your probation to the satisfaction of the court before you are released from your sentence.


What happens when you have a misdemeanor warrant for not ever going to probation?

Warrants do not have SOL's and therefore regardless of how long you have avoided this, your arrest warrant is - and will remain - valid until such time that you are arrested or contact the county of issuance and resolve this matter. An Attorney is greatly recommended before doing so.Added: Do not lose sight of the fact that you are a convicted criminal - your sentence was to serve a certain period of probation and you never served your sentence. Therefore you have not yet served the sentenvce for you crime.... just like if you escaped jail.
