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".

Can old warrant violate probation?
It's POSSIBLE. Because. . ., if the judge knew you you had an outstanding criminal warrant at the time he gave you a lenient sentence of probation. . . he might not have offered you probation in the first place.
Im on probation and just got out of a mental hospital for bipolar and have a white warrant issued What is going to happen?
You will get arrested for breach of probation. Answer: A "white warrant" means a warrant issued for a parole/probation revocation. If there was some oustanding reason you couldn't maintain contact with your probation/parole officer during your stay in the facility, there will be a hearing to determine if you could have "reasonably" could or couldn't have done so, and a judge will determine if it was acceptable. Of course, you will be arrested, and depending on the state, you may automaticaly have to serve a pre-determined time in jail before the hearing with out bail. Best thing for you to do is contact your attorney that handled the case for you to determine what to do next.
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".
If a bench warrant is issued for someone who was in prison does that mean when they get out on probation they will be arrested and have to serve the rest of their term?
it depends on the offense, but if the person was in prison when the warrant was issued most likely all they have to do is appear before the judge and they might get time served and not have to sit in jail at all but just in case you may want to talk to your court administrator
How much jail time could you get if an arrest warrant is issued because of a DUI and drug-related probation violation?
That depends upon the laws of the state in which the incident occurred, prior criminal convictions and so forth. The sentence that was imposed an then suspended relating to the terms of probation will have to be served now that the probation has been violated.
Can they still give you jail time if your probation is over?
What do you mean by over? If the Court has discharged you from probation then no. The Court cannot give you jail time on your probation charge after you have been discharged from probation. If, for example, you were granted a two year term of probation that was due to expire on 02/01/10 but failed to report and a warrant was issued in 2009 then you are not off the hook. The Court can suspend your probation if you violate the terms. Once it is ordered suspended then the Court retains jurisdiction until you are either relieved from probation supervision, continued on probation with a time extension, or revoked and sentenced to jail or prison.
How can you be arrested for breach of probation when previous background checks did not state any such warrant?
This is quite simple. To be in breech or violation of probation, a PO doesn't have to go through the courts to arrest you. You are already in the system. All he has to do is fill out a "pick-up" order, and file it with the sheriffs department, and they will arrest you on violation of probation. The pick-up order acts as a warrant, but isn't filed with the County Clerk's office. Only a warrant can has to be issued by a judge. The pick-up order can be filed by your PO and or, if you are a minor, by your parents. A police officer, during a traffic stop can even issue a pick-up order if he personally witnessed you violating your probation. Having said all this, the simple fact is that since you are a probationer, you don't have the same rights as a person who isn't. You belong to the Department of Corrections until you are done with your sentence. Of course, the PO has a certain amount of time to file his complaint against you, if not, you have to be released from jail, and your probation continues. But, most likely, he'll have all his eggs in one basket before issuing the pick-up order.
Can a warrant be issued on a person more than once even if he did time for that warrant?
Yes, depending on the circumstances there are different warrants for the different issues that arise for instance if you fail to comply with court ordered stipulations this can trigger a warrant issued by Judge. You also have probation warrants for failure to report as previously scheduled, failure to pass drug test and/or catching a new case while currently a probationer that causes a violation against the rules and regulations of probation. Look at it like this you have previously had a warrant you squared away however a new case was caught prior to old case completion than you don't show up for you new case or give or take old case a warrant will be issued and bail if any can be revoked.
What is the difference between felony probation being terminated and expired?
If you have two felony cases that are being ran concurrent,and have had a bench warrant issued for violation of probation,yet probation end date has past after warrant was issued yet you have not turned yourself in or been arrested,why would they close the non controlling case and expire your probation,yet keep the controlling case that had a lower conviction charge and showing less time served on open? It was basically a crime bail crime..OR'd on the first two felony charges then arrested again given the same two felony charges in another county.

Can federal authorities issue a warrant against an ex-felon who has finished his time and probation for threat of violence in the workplace when the employer chooses not to press charges?
