Many conditions of probation will require disclosure of the new arrest. However, to know for sure, re-review the original terms and conditions of your probation conditions. If you are not sure a disclosure requirement is in there... or you don't understand the document, arrange for a consultation with an attorney so they can help you. You also need to visit with an attorney on the other case. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to defeat the charge....which would be really helpful considering tht you are potentially facing a probation revocation in the near future. If the new charges goes aways, then it's possible that the revocation won't happen.
