Maximum for a class C felony is 5 years and a $10,000 fine. No mandatory minimum. It is likely that a good lawyer could be get this reduced to a misdemeanor.

The minimum in Michigan is probation and the maximum depends on how they charge the offense. I would need to see the exact charge, any prior record and the facts of the case before I could make an opinion on possible sentence.
