Q: If someone skips out on felony probation involving a minor in 1997. Can he still be arrested for it now ?
A: Hello, I'm slightly confused by your question but will attempt to answer. In general, a person that is sentenced to probation is required to complete the probation. If someone fails to comply with the requirements of their probation, it is likely that the person has a warrant for their arrest. The conditions associated with their refusal/failure to complete the probation will likely require the completion of the imposed sentence. I would strongly recommend that that person contact a lawyer for assistance with this matter.
