I am not going to ask why you didn't appear because what is done is done. Congratulations on finishing school. Contact the court ASAP and explain your situation. Ask for a public defender
If you haven't reported as required, you likely have an arrest warrant issued on a probation violation. I suggest you hire counsel to go to court with you and get this handled correctly, asap. That would show your good faith, rather than waiting to be taken into custody and to court in cuffs. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
I wouldn't be surprised if probation has asked the court to revoke your probation. I suggest getting a lawyer and checking it out.
