More details to this question:
I have been on probation since November 6th 2019. 6 months of U.As and a year with my P.O. It is a deferred judgment case it will all be dropped when I finish. I recently received a ticket for shop lifting and have a ticket of 250.04$ to pay and to appear in court on February 4th. What will happen with my probation?

A condition of all deferred sentences is that you not violate the law while on the deferred sentence. You need to consult a lawyer as the shoplifting ticket could end up causing the guilty plea you entered (for the deferred sentence) to become a permanent conviction. Depending on many different factors there may be a way to salvage the deferred sentence and not have it enter as a permanent conviction and that is definitely worth the effort.
