You have been accused of violating your probation. There are a number of offenses that can lead to this situation, including possession of a firearm, drug use, alcohol use, failure to report to your probation officer, failure to appear in court and associating with known criminals. When the court finds out you have been involved in any situation like this you will have to defend yourself. If found guilty you could be facing serious consequences.
