Art. 901. Revocation for commission of another offense

A. In addition to the grounds for revocation of probation enumerated in Article 900, a defendant who is on probation for a felony who subsequently commits and is convicted of a felony under the laws of this state, another state, the United States, or the District of Columbia, and which if committed in this state would be a felony, shall have his probation revoked as of the date of the commission of the felony or final conviction of the felony.

B. When a defendant who is under a suspended sentence or on probation for a misdemeanor commits or is convicted of any offense under the laws of this state, a political subdivision thereof, another state or a political subdivision thereof, the United States, or the District of Columbia, his suspended sentence or probation may be revoked as of the date of the commission or final conviction of the offense.

C. In cases of revocation provided for in this Article:

(1)No credit shall be allowed for time spent on probation or for the time elapsed during suspension of the sentence.

(2)When the new conviction is a Louisiana conviction, the court shall specify in the minutes whether the sentence shall run consecutively or concurrently with the sentence for the new conviction.

(3)The defendant may be given credit for time served prior to the revocation hearing for time served in actual custody while being held for a probation violation in a local detention facility, state institution, or out-of-state institution pursuant to Article 880.

D. The provisions of this Article shall not apply to a defendant who, as an additional condition for the violation of his probation, has been ordered to complete a drug or specialty court program. A defendant who is eligible for revocation of probation pursuant to Paragraph A of this Article and does not successfully complete such court-ordered drug or specialty court program shall have his probation revoked as of the date of the commission of the felony or final conviction of the felony.
