That is a complex question which requires more information to answer properly. There is a big difference in the types of charges that might be brought against him, and whether is is charged with a felonies or misdemeanors. Misdemeanors carry a sentence of up to 12 months for each charge, and felonies are punishable by more than a year in custody (or on probation/parole). If either of these cases involve a felony jail or prison becomes more likely than if they are just misdemeanors.
