If you violate probation otherwise someone forgot to take the warrant out of lien.

You can be arrested for a probation violation on a case that you have probation on. However, you cannot be convicted twice for the same crime.

Double jeapordy means being charged with the same crime twice. If that is what is happening, the new charges can be challenged by motions.

You'll need to provide more details if you want a decent answer. If you are on probation, you can be arrested if you violate probation.

If you violate probation then yes, a (bench) warrant can be issued for your arrest. If you have violated probation, speak to an criminal defense attorney in your area as soon as possible.

Of course. It's called probation violation. Of, you commit a similar crime a second time.

Yes it is possible. But the double jeopardy clause may apply.
