If you violated probation there is no statute unless it is after the probation period. You can be charged with any violation as long as you were on probation at the time.

Well they can but the judge may thin it is not timely. Get a lawyer.

Why not? Aren't you still on probation? If you had completed your probation, it would be a different matter.

Yes. But the violations are stale and could be argued against at a hearing.
