It depends on the PO, usually. Also, it depends on what the person is on parole for. If they're on parole for a felony DWI, my guess is a new DWI allegation would certainly violate them. It would probably be a big issue if he/she is on parole for a drug case, since the two are closely related. The biggest thing he/she needs to worry about at this point, is hiring the very best attorney they can to fight the DWI. If they win, they'll have a stronger argument before the Board of Pardons and Parole.

This is a common misnomer. People believe that if a case is dismissed it is not on their criminal record. In Massachusetts a "court record" is created once a complaint issues. A "criminal record" or CORI is created once a defendant is arraigned on the charges. The charges may ultimately be dismissed, but the dismissal is reflected on the CORI. The importance of a dismissal is that one can honestly state that they were never convicted of the crime charged. To clear your record in Massachusetts one must seal their record. Sealing a record does not necessarily mean that someone cannot find that you were arrested. If one is arrested and fingerprinted in Massachusetts all fingerprints are sent to the FBI. That creates an arrest record which is difficult to seal. If you have concerns about your record consult an experienced criminal attorney.
