Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Im currently on felony probation for 3 years which ends October 21 2016. My question is if i stop drug testing and reporting to my agent, stay off the radar with no police contact until the end of october 2016, will i technically be off probation? I am aware that there will be a warrant for my arrest that will need to be taken care of. So, can someone give me a straight answer?

Horrible idea.

If they allege you're in violation of probation, it will be revoked. The clock stops ticking. Once you're picked up on the warrant, you'll face additional consequences and then probation starts again. Essentially, you'll make your probation longer and get additional punishment. Probation won't just expire in October.
