Is there a question?

Anytime you do not appear in court, the Judge can issue a FTA warrant for your arrest

You have bigger problems than worrying if your PO finds out.

Once you are in Jail on the FTA warrant you will have to face contempt charges and probably a VOP

You need to consult with a good criminal attorney ASAP

Good luck

A bench warrant is issued for the failure to appear. The probation violation petition will be issued once you fail to appear at probation, because you are afraid about the warrant issued in court: http://www.lawrencelewispc.com/pages.php?go=pinfo&PID=38
