A:
Yes. If your probation is revoked, you can be sentenced up to 1 yr in county jail.
The Judge could also reinstate your probation, with or without additional conditions. You are entitled to a hearing, and the opportunity to present evidence related to the alleged violations, as well as any mitigation evidence. Hire a lawyer to advise you how to proceed, and possibly to represent you during the hearing.
