Tacoma, WA asked in Criminal Law for Idaho

Q: Should a person who is under supervision of idoc be made aware of their "fugitive " status while under said supervision?

My friend had less than 2 months left on a conviction, had been straight with his PO doing well. Was arrested for being a fugitive to Idaho. Why is it now this being brought to light. Seems he should have been made aware of this before now. I mean his PO had to have known.

A: Your friend had been doing "well" on probation, EXCEPT THAT HE MOVED TO IDAHO WITHOUT OBTAINING THE P.O.'S CONSENT! His P.O. MAY have had suspicions that your friend was moving without his consent and just wanted to see if your friend would do such a stupid thing?
