   It would seem that if probation is currently violating you, then it would appear to be something more than minor. If probation is willing to overlook it, then I suspect that one could view it as minor.
   
   If you are violated, punishment could range from imposing any custody that was stayed down to revoking and reinstating and than noting the violation on your record.
