What is a felony probation revocation in Arkansas?

In Arkansas, a felony probation revocation occurs when someone who is serving probation for a felony offense violates the terms and conditions of their probation.

Probation typically involves conditions such as regularly reporting to a probation officer, refraining from criminal activity, submitting to drug tests, and possibly attending counseling or treatment programs.

 

If a person on felony probation fails to comply with any of these conditions or commits a new offense while on probation, their probation may be revoked. This can result in various consequences, including serving the remainder of their original sentence in prison.

 

The process for revoking probation in Arkansas typically involves a hearing before a judge, where evidence of the probation violation is presented. The judge then decides whether to revoke probation and, if so, what consequences to impose. These consequences can range from additional probation terms, to serving time in jail or prison.

 

It's important for individuals on probation to strictly adhere to the conditions set forth by the court to avoid facing probation revocation proceedings.
