Yes they could be waiting for laboratory results before arresting you.

I'm not sure I quite understand your question. Anyone can be arrested if there is reason to believe that they have or are breaking the law, regardless of whether they are on probation or not.

Sure. People on probation get arrested all the time. Whatever new charge they pick up is also a violation of their probation. Often, a bond will not be set until they see the judge, so they may sit in jail for a few days.
