Consult a local AR Attorney

Well, obviously you should not expect to defy your probation and get away with it, but you can call a local AR attorney and see about negotiating a transfer of your probation to OH, if that is where you are living. You'll need someone with a bit of clout. For DUI, they may not revoke probation [depends upon the udnerlying offense], but they may lengthen your probation or put you in jail for a few days to get the idea of "probation" through to you. Good luck.
