Getting a DWI while on parole for negligent homicide is "getting in trouble" since being on parole. May I presume her negligent homicide occured when someone was killed because she was driving under the influence of some substance? If she has not told her parole officer about the new charge, there is a chance she can keep it from him, but no way a competent DA will not know she is on probation. Since I do not know her record I cannot guess what will happen.
