A: Your probation can be revoked and you can be sentenced to jail if you violate any term and condition of probation. Reporting to your probation officer as directed is a condition of probation.

A: If you do not report, then how can the court determine if you are doing well on probation. It's good that you have not been arrested for any other crime, however it does not excuse why you did not follow the court's order. Your fate is in the hands of the judge. On the brighter side, as far as your underlying case goes, it is not very serious. Good luck.
