The answers here are kind of fuzzy, so let me spell it out.
A probation officer does not revoke probation. A probation officer can recommend to a court that probation be revoked. I don't know of any jurisdiction in which being suspected of an offense or arrested for an offense ALONE would be grounds for revoking probation. However, a violation of probation can be proven with a far lower standard of proof than proof that you committed a crime. So if there is some evidence that you actually committed an arson, that evidence could be presented to a court, and the court could revoke probation.

NO, I believe that they can only revoke if you are arrested (conviction does not matter).
If that person is revoked for being a suspect (questioned I presume but not detained), his or her attorney (even a first year law student) would have a field day!
If the person was only a suspect, I seriously doubt that his or her probation officer would even know about it.

Actually....no! The probation officer does not revoke an individuals status!
What actually happens is a probation hearing is conducted at which time the "probation board" is provided with any and all facts concerning what event that MIGHT have compromised the rules of probation/parole!
If the board determines probation was violated...THEN the board recommends the probation be vacated!

possibly pending the details and what violations of your probation you committed while being a suspect. Your best bet is to call your PO and talk to him before he hears from someone else and you end up screwed.

Yes, they can IF they have substantial evidence that you were with or acquaintances with the person found guilty. They will claim you were hanging with inappropriate persons. Just like if PO came to your home and found 1 beer in your fridge..Your busted.. Sorry my friend. Perhaps your state is different!!
