A sentence depends on a lot of things like the exact charge(s), how cooperative the complainant(s) are, any injuries or property damage, the criminal history (including all arrests even if no convictions), behavior towards the arresting officer(s) and other factors.

When you violate probation you can be sentenced to whatever the jail time could have been on the original plea. Iff you plead to a misdemeanor the maximum is 1 year which equals 8 months with good time credit and a credit for any time you were in jail prior to the sentence if there was a bail set that you could not make.

That depends on the level of crime which you were convicted of. You can receive a maximum sentence for that crime or something less. You can also simply have your term of probation extended.
