If they were on the ball, they sought a tolling order that stopped the time meter from running while you were a fugitive. That means the warrant could last forever.

A probation warrant is a huge problem for you. If you are arrested elsewhere, you could end up being held for a long time without bond until you even get transferred to the right jurisdiction.

What you need to do i get a good lawyer and make arrangements to turn yourself in. You probably will fare better that way than if you simply get caught. The longer you wait the worse it probably gets.

Yes, it will go away as soon as you are arrested on it. You agreed to probation (instead of jail), you failed to fulfill your obligations, and now you want a pass on the probation violation. You are going to be arrested on the probation violation. After you are arrested (because you did not turn yourself in) the judge is going to light you up. For other helpful hints, see my website: www.lawrencelewispc.com. Good luck.
