You need to hire an attorney for the Motion to Revoke Probation and then that attorney can help turn him in if that's the right move. He absolutely needs to comply with all other terms of his probation and go to the next meeting. Call the probation officer and explain why you missed. Actually, hire an attorney first so they can advise you properly based on the County, Court and his history.

If there is a good explanation, call your probation officer and explain. And, get an attorney immediately and be prepared to turn yourself in. There is a chance that if you act now, your probation will not be revoked. You might spend a few days in jail as "jail therapy" but you probation is likely to be reinstated. Do not delay.

When you are on probation, any violation of the law or technical violation (such as visiting your probation officer when you're supposed to) may be grounds to terminate your probation you should contact your probation officer ASAP.
