Husband was arrested for 1st time probation violation.

My Husband is on probation for disorderly conduct. About close to a month ago he was arrested for theft, and did 5 days in jail. After he got out of jail he called his P.O and told her everything. A few days later her partner came over and did his check, and told him okay check in the office on your scheduled day. Today was the day he was to go see his probation officer. He went and she askes 100 questions and when she was done the mesa PD came in and arrested him for probation violation. She had them put a warrent out yesterday for it. Now I dont understand how or why she can know about the jail time for 3 weeks, and send someone to come over and check on him and do or say nothing for this whole time and just NOW decide to violate him. So he will see a judge within 24 hours. Will he have to stay in jail, or will they let him out and schedule him for a sentencing date later??

"Now I dont understand how or why she can know about the jail time for 3 weeks, and send someone to come over and check on him and do or say nothing for this whole time and just NOW decide to violate him.

She has too many other probationers to deal with that aren't in jail.  As long as she knew where he was and why he wasn't checking in then that is all that they need to know at the time.  After he gets out and is questioned is when she determined the arrest and conviction were enough to violate.  It doesn't have to be done while he is in jail.

"Will he have to stay in jail, or will they let him out and schedule him for a sentencing date later?"

That will be up to the judge.  The whole point of probation is not to get in to trouble again.  By being arrested for a more serious crime he has proven that he has big issues to the court.  If the judge is upset enough about it they can have him serve the rest of his original sentence and he would do that immediately with credit for the time he has been in jail waiting to see the judge.  If the judge is in a generous mood he could be placed back on probation and released.  We can't predict how it will go.

My guess, depending on the severity of the disordely conduct, is that he may be able to get released on a PR bond until the sentencing hearing for the pv if he already has some other sort of bond for the theft.  It all depends on the judge.

It doesn't matter that she waited around.  POs can violate later on if they like.

There should be a bail amount on the warrant, or it will be set by a judge soon.  Although he may not have a right to bail he'd likely get one on a misdemeanor.  If he cannot post the bail amount, he has to wait for his court dates.
