Is it illegal to have ammunition in my home after i am felon? Can a parole violation be granted because i still had ammunition at my home?

The ammunition was left here by the police when they searched my home before i accepted a plea and was declared a felon so it was still here when they came with a new search warrant and that’s all they could find in my home. They did not arrest me but they acted like that was a violation.

Yes and yes.  You are in violation.  With a felony, you cannot own or have ammo or a firearm or be seen associating with other felons.
