What if I am charged with a new offense while I am on parole?

You must contact your parole officer. Your parole cannot be revoked just because you have been arrested and charged with a new offense except as described in the question below. You can make bail or be released on your own recognizance; however, you must tell your parole officer. It is unwise not to report to your parole officer because of a new arrest or charges. You will be subject to parole revocation action if you stop reporting. Further, the failure to notify your parole officer of your arrest or being served with a summons or complaint, accepting any pre-trial release, or failure to report to your parole officer all constitute violations of parole.
