Watson v. State, 497 So. 2d 1294

WIGGINTON, Judge.

We affirm the order revoking appellant‘s probation. Probation is terminated only by a valid order of revocation or the running of its term, and not by the mere execution of an arrest warrant for violation of probation. See section 948.06, Fla. Stat.; cf. McNeill v. State, 287 So.2d 745 (Fla. 3d DCA 1974) (the issuance of a warrant assures continued jurisdiction of the trial court to revoke probation, despite the fact that the period of probation has run in the interim).

AFFIRMED.

ERVIN and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
