Can they revocate probation if an alleged crime that was committed while on parole?
Was on parole, got locked up for a crime someone else admitted to, and parole ended 2 months after being locked up and probation started. Can they revoke my probation even though I was on parole when alleged crime took place? Parole did not revoke me and there is no evidence against me. Keep getting bond denied due to my past, Now they are trying to revoke probation. Legal papers putting me on probation have never been given to me and I’ve never signed any. Seems like since there is no evidence, they are just looking for a way to keep me in jail.

If one is on parole/probation and the parolee/probationer is accused of a crime, then there is a very good chance that the parole/probation for that person will be subject to having his or her parole/probation revoked as a result. Most terms of parole/probation are that the released person is to obey all laws of a given state.
Given the circumstances that you have written about you should consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in your matter.
