Are you using the drug right now off of your keyboard? What's with all the periods? I almost had a seizure just trying to read that paragraph.

Sounds like the guy has had priors! If he is violated on his probation then he would be held pending extradition order from the county where his probation was located. The jurisdiction that is holding him usually has a certain amount of time before they will release an extradition hold. If he has a "New" offense in the detaining jurisdiction, he is usually adjudicated on that issue first, before extradition to the jurisdiction where he has violated probation. Once he has served his time or otherwise been adjudicated on the new offense, the probation violation offense will send an officer to pick him up and they'll take him before a judge to make a decree that he is in violation. Note this is not a trial, he was already tried and convicted and placed on probation. Probation means that the court will wave all or part of a jail term on condition that you maintain your probation status as ordered (Sounds like he didn't do that, since possession of a controlled substance would definitely be a probation violation).
