If you have a warrant for violating probation (which you likely do), then yes they may be able to extradite you to the other state. You should call the county sheriff where you were on probation and speak with their records department to find out if you have a warrant for arrest.

Yes. They can arrest you and send you back to the State where the violation occurred. Why on earth do you think they wouldn't?

It's not that they CAN'T extradite... it is a matter of whether they WILL... the severity of the charges has a lot to do with it.
