public intoxication arrest while on probation for DUI in another state
I was arrested in Utah for a public intoxication ticket. I have to go to court for this. I am on probation in Idaho for a DUI….what will happen? I did not contact my probation officer about this…are they able to pull records? Will I just receive a fine?

Oh yes, of course, the officer already pulled your record and the court will know. If your probation officer didn't know then, he or she may know now.
Your probation can be revoked. You may be sent back to your state where you have your probation (did you seek permission to leave the state? Did you have permission to leave the state?). Further, does your probation prohibit you from drinking at all or being intoxicated?
You need to contact your criminal defense attorney/public defender and determine the best way to both inform your probation officer and help you with this "ticket" for public intoxication.
