You don't say what you were charged with or what kind of classes, but it sound like you've violated probation by blowing off the required classes. People convicted of DUI, domestic violence, financial crimes, and drug offenses are oven required to take classes specific to their offense.

If the judge finds you violated probation, you could be sent to jail or prison for anything up to the maximum for the offense that got you on probation in the first place, minus credit for any time you already served.

The actual outcome depends on a number of factors, including the circumstances of the original offense and whether you have a good explanation for why you didn't complete the classes.

It sounds like violation of probation, as Mr. Marshall points out. Your failure to appear is not good either.
