Yes, but it has to come from the Governor of Missouri, and that's about as likely as hell freezing over. He can solve this problem. He has a few options, and should see an attorney in Canada to help clear them up. It is most likely that if he pays a fine, he'll have no problems.

It depends on the state. In Georgia the governor does not give pardons, but the Parole Board does. In Missouri I am not sure if the Governor grants the pardon or the Parole Board. In any instance, there is no way that your friend is going to granted a pardon. Pardons are not granted to people who are not following the rules and regs of their sentence. Your friend has violated his probation, meaning that instead of putting him in jail or prison, they gave him a chance to serve his sentence in the "free world". He screwed that up. If he comes to the states he will most likely be arrested.

It looks unlikely that your friend would be eligible for any kind of pardon.
In this case, the governor of Missouri could issue such a legal pardon for this violation. However, the legal process would have to be finished first.
In other words, your friend would have to surrender to the state for legal processing first. The likelihood of a pardon without going through the court first is practically nil.
Good luck with that.

there are particular comprehensible characteristics that are in no way crossed nor questioned in each ones existence. You do your superb at a job in hopes of being regarded interior the form of a advance in income. in case you fail at your employment household initiatives and are terminated, it fairly is concept which you probably did no longer carry out as your activity required. in case you blatantly violate the regulations of any given society or community then you definitely would be prosecuted and if chanced on responsible, punished for this reason. An appointed public servant, exceedingly the President ought in no way have the potential to altar those avenues in existence because of the fact that's going to continuously finally end up in a good ending. If we've been each given the possibility to settle on if we deserved a advance and have been exempt from critique for our efforts if we chosen so and exceedingly having the latter means, the international could be lots diverse. The integrity of the optimal place interior the unfastened international has lost that's genuine meaning. in spite of ones place, the regulations could be appropriate as a manner to evade twisting the information of human household initiatives. How can someone in potential dare propose implementing regulations and rules for the final inhabitants in the event that they, themselves are no longer prepared to stick to the comparable criteria. If 'Joe the plumber', 'Sam the butcher' or Saddam Hussein are charged and located responsible for breaching the regulations of expected habit then the President of us of a of america should not be above the regulation exceedingly in the event that they have the terrific say interior the end result. Disrespecting the voters of the country that voted you into workplace with untruths and questionable acts with out regard for the Constitutional regulations that govern the land is actual a poor legacy. To violate the understood regulations of the full planet that "All" or maximum countries have agreed to uphold sends a pitiful message. i've got confidence it says in no uncertain words..."you will save on with the regulations or face the outcomes yet "WE" do no longer could because of the fact have been human beings." That form of 'Bully' mentality is unforgivable.

First of all, define trouble. Second, he fled the country on probation, second mistake. Third is he Canadian? Foreigners don't get pardons, they get deported,if that's the case. Fourth, is almost impossible to get a pardon for big prominent people, little less for common folks. Fifth, your friend IS SCREWED! Can't do the time, don't do the crime
