You will need permission from the court. Show the probation officer verification of the employment position and it will go smoother. It would assist if you could pay off your fines and cost in advance. If it was on a felony, they could do an interstate compact and have your probation supervised in New York. If a misdemeanor, they could terminate upon payment of cost, switch you to non-reporting, or have you report via phone. The most important is factor is to communicate with your probation officer and not just assume there are no problems.
