When you were placed on probation, you were sentenced to a certain period of time, but you were permitted to serve that time on probation. Accordingly, if you were sentenced to 5 years on probation, if you violate your probation, you can be ordered to serve up to 5 years (or whatever time remains on your probation) in custody. You should immediately retain an attorney who can attempt to negotiate a reinstatement of your probation.
