16-93-402. Probation officers.
(a) (1) When directed by the courts, the probation officers shall report to the court on the conduct and behavior of the probationer while on probation.
(2) The court may thereupon discharge the probationer from further supervision and may terminate the proceedings against him or her or may extend the probation, as shall seem advisable.
(b) (1) Whenever, during the period of his or her probation, a probationer placed on probation goes from the county in which he or she is being supervised to another county, jurisdiction over him or her may be transferred, in the discretion of the court, from the court for the county from which he or she goes to the court for the other county, with the concurrence of the latter court.
(2) (A) The court for the county to which jurisdiction is transferred shall have all power with respect to the probationer that was previously possessed by the court for the county from which the transfer was made.
(B) Under the same conditions this process may be repeated whenever during the period of his or her probation the probationer goes from the county in which he or she is being supervised to another county.
(c) (1) At any time within the probation period or within the maximum probation period permitted by 16-93-401 [repealed], the court for the county in which the probationer is being supervised or, if no longer supervised, the court for the county in which he or she was last under supervision may issue a warrant for his or her arrest for violation of probation occurring during the probation period.
(2) The warrant may be executed by any peace officer authorized to make arrests under the laws of the State of Arkansas.
(3) If the probationer is arrested in any county other than that in which he or she was last supervised, he or she shall be returned to the county in which the warrant was issued.
(4) As speedily as possible, the probationer shall be taken before the court having jurisdiction over him or her.
(5) Thereupon, the court may revoke the probation and require the probationer to serve the sentence imposed or any lesser sentence which might have been originally imposed.
