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.

He will then discharge you from his/her caseload. You must remember that when you sign the terms of your supervision, it has become a legal document and if you violated any of the terms, you may be held accountable. If it is a major violation, you can go back to prison. Cliff Ramsawh

Don't forget that you are serving a sentence, albeit a lenient one, because you were found guilty, and are free under the supervision and authority of the court. If the court wants you to sign some type of papers affecting your probation status you would be well advised to do so.
