Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
If you were on probation, and were arrested, but no conviction has arisen as of yet, and that probation ends. Does the court lose jurisdiction if that probation expires?

If you are charged with a new crime while on probation, but the probation ends before a conviction, you can still be charged with violation of probation, as the date of the offense is what triggers the violation, not the date of conviction.

You are probably required to report the arrest to your agent, because that is one of the standard conditions. If you have a good relationship with your agent perhaps he or she will tell you what he or she will do if your are ultimately convicted.
I offer a free initial consultation.
