If this is Michigan and he is charged as an adult then he will have to be incarcerated if convicted.

Not likely. Because of the firearm, he committed a felony. He may get it reduced to a gross misdemeanor, but that carries a sentence range of 364 days in jail and $5,000 fine.

He will probably get some form of probation. Do you mean probation with no jail time? Probably not.

Get an attorney, those are extremely serious charges and would normally result in a penalty much more severe than simple probation.
