You need to ask your defense attorney. However, there is a good chance that you will do some jail time since you violated one of the major conditions of your deferred sentence, that being law abiding behavior. Ask yourself what you would do to someone who is given a break on certain conditions and then they go out and violate the most important of the conditions.

Incarceration is one possibility. Another is your deferred turns into a conviction but sentence is suspended. You need counsel. Now is not too soon.

Mr. Pate's answer is best on this. Jail or prison time is a possibility, not only for the felony case, but for the fact that you were on a deferred entry of sentence on the marijuana case. What was the sentence in the marijuana case, which now may be imposed?
