Yes. San Joaquin county can violate you based on the facts of your arrest in Yolo County.
It's easier for the prosecution to get a probation violation than a conviction. You are not entitled to a jury trial for a probation violation, and the prosecution only has to convince the judge it's more likely than not that you violated, instead of proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
