Best Answer

To intimidate a witness is to do something that discourages the witness from appearing in court and testifying truthfully. This can be something as overt as making direct threats of harm to the witness if they appear and testify, or as low profile as staring or giving the witness the "hairy eyeball" in the corridor outside of the courtroom.

Intimidation of a witness is a serious crime. The offense can be charged as a felony even if the case in which the witness is to testify concerns only a misdemeanor.

What happens with the charges when someone presses felony charges on you when your on probation and the person is in jail when the court date appears?

"People" don't press charges. The State (in the form of the prosecutor's office) presses charges. If the complainant in the offense you are being charged with is currently in prison, does not mean that you he can't be a witness against you in the offense you allegedly committed against him.
