A:
Your question is not clear, but I will try to give you some information.
You are MIXING two different questions.
First, if a person is already on probation, and gets a new arrest, this person is subject to being SANCTIONED by the Judge in the prior case. This can mean jail time, etc.
Statutes of limitation are not controlled by whether a person is already on probation. These statutes only delineate how long after a crime has been completed, that the Prosecutor has to ACCUSE the person. Many related rules exist, dealing with "tolling" the statute of limitations (e.g., where the perpetrator lives outside GA and his or her whereabouts are unknown).
Hire a top lawyer, is my advice.
