what happens if i am on probation for one year for minor consumption and receive another minor consumption in a different county and district?
i am on probation for one year under the district court for receiving two minor consumption tickets (petty misdemeanors) within six months. i recently received another ticket but it was in a different county and a different district. the conditions of my parole are that if i violate it will result in 90 days of jail and a $900 fine. My probation agreement states that I am ‘placed on probation to the District Court’. both previous tickets were in the same county, but the most recent was in a different county and in a different court district.

It doesn't matter that it happened in a different district. When they run your record this should come up. Parole violation is taken seriously. If a term of your parole states that a violation will result in "90 days of jail and a $900.00 fine" I think that you had better get out your checkbook and pack.
Frankly, I'd contact an attorney in your area and get their advice. Sounds like you might need it.
