if a person gets 1 year probation and violates because of not paying and also gets 2 marijuana charges against them in a matter of 6 months from assigned probation then gets arrested again for the actual violation and is put in jail with no bond would the person have to sit the reamainning years time out or will he eventually get a bond and be able to get out but have more time added to his probation period?
