Leaving the country would be an additional violation of probation. You cannot go unless your probation officer consents. Cancel your trip.

Be aware that if a warrant has been issued, you likely will be detained by customs and jailed and returned to Sandy Springs.

Your best bet is to get a good lawyer and immediately pay and report. You may be able to salvage a situation where you otherwise can and likely will spend a good bit of time in jail.
