How likely is jail time for a first time operating after revocation offense in Brown County? The revocation stems from an OWI.

The OAR was midday on a weekend and I sincerely believed I was within the parameters of my occupational license. I was close to home (within 5 minutes), had my IID in the car, had my seatbelt on, and cooperated fully with the officer. I don't really know why I was pulled over. The OWI occurred over two years ago and I have complied fully with all penalties from that. How often would a judge in Brown County hand down jail time in a situation like this?
You may want to cut and paste the following link into your web browser:

These are the statewide guidelines for OAR/OAS (Operating After Revocation/Suspension). I do not practice in Brown County, so I am not familiar with the sentencing tendencies of the judges there. You may want to consult with a local criminal defense attorney. The staff attorneys with the State Public Defender's Office are the lawyers that deal most frequently with the judges on these sort of cases. The Green Bay Office can be reached at: 920-448-5433.
Good luck.
