As far as serving probation out of Minnesota in New Mexico? No.
Transferring supervision of probation to another state is is something that must be brought up with your Minnesota probation officer, if your boyfriend is placed back on probation. There are rules regarding supervision of out of state probationers upon meeting certain criteria and acceptance of the supervision.
The State of Minnesota will have to decide if they are willing to pay the time and money to extradite your boyfriend from New Mexico. New Mexico will extradite a defendant if there is an open warrant, the other state requests it and will pay for it. The State of New Mexico has deadlines in which another state must pick up an individual awaiting extradition.
