Attorney Wing is correct. In order to issue a warrant for Violation of Probation or Violation of a Conditional Discharge the warrant must be signed while the probation or conditional discharge is still active. Once the probationary period has expired, you can not be prosecuted for a violation thereof. Based on the facts as you describe them it seems unlikely that the state has already issued a Violation of Probation warrant. You can confirm this by calling the police department or...

It is very difficult to answer that question without knowing much more about the case and the situation. There are a wide range of outcomes that may occur in a case such as yours. As the other attorney has indicated, it could range from a program where the charges are ultimately dismissed to potential jail time.

You will certainly want to read the recent Connecticut Appellate Court decision of State v. Woodtke (http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ct-court-of-appeals/1577971.html).

They might only take your statement and that is all that comes of it or they might conduct some sort of investigation and try to have a warrant signed in order to arrest this individual. It will depend on the facts and the police department....
As Attorney Goldsmith indicates, the outcome of any case will depend on a large number of factors. Given the fact that you have a clean record, you may want to consider the pre-trial diversion program called Accelerated Rehabilitation. If the court were to grant this program you would obtain a dismissal after you successfully complete the term of probation ordered by the court. It is available to those people who have no criminal record and have not used the program in the past. If you are...
This is entirely up to the Department of Probation. In my experience, however, this is something that is regularly done. To begin the process you should contact your Probation Officer.
