"due to some complications with my probation officer" is no excuse for absconding.

You may as well say that, due to an ingrown toenail, you're willing to have your leg amputated.

When you abscond, a bench warrant issues almost immediately. You have to pay a sizable bond to be released when you're arrested again which is money you'll never see again.

Maybe you should re-think your plans. I don't see you having any money left to pay a lawyer when you get caught unless you decide not to bond out and wait in jail for your hearing which will likely be followed by more jail, fines, costs, and more probation with the same officer.

Just stop smoking weed and drop clean.
