In short your son based upon the facts of your question is getting himself in worse trouble than he was before. By not complying with the probation order for the prior crime that he was convicted of he faces a new criminal action against him for violating his probation order on two counts. First, by getting charged with a second crime and second, by not keeping contact with his probation officer.
If found guilty, the suspended sentence from the prior crime will be imposed upon him. I suggest that he immediately consult with a criminal defense attorney to do some sort of damage control as to his current situation.
