A probation violation can land someone back in jail, sometimes unexpectedly. Whether bail is available depends on the situation. If this is happening in Lexington, this guide explains how probation violation bonds work in Davidson County.
How Probation Violations Work
When someone on probation is accused of violating its terms, they can be arrested and held. A judge then decides whether to set bail while the violation is addressed. Unlike a new charge, a probation violation involves the conditions of an existing sentence.
Whether bail is available for a probation violation varies by case. When it is set, a bondsman can post it just like any other bond.
What Counts as a Violation
- Missing a meeting with a probation officer
- Failing a drug or alcohol test
- A new arrest or charge
- Not completing required programs or payments
- Leaving the area without permission
Bail for a Probation Violation
In some probation violation cases, a judge sets a bail amount that allows release while the matter is resolved. When that happens, a bondsman can post the bond for the standard 15% premium. In other cases, bail may be limited, depending on the circumstances.

Probation violation situations move fast and benefit from quick action : both in securing release when bail is available and in working with an attorney on the underlying matter.
