You don’t mention a state and sentencing is different for each. Under federal sentencing gidelines, possession of 5gs or more of crack cocaine or 500 gs of powdwer cocaine will get you a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison. Of course, that would be in addition to being held without bail for the probation violation until being taken before a judge for the original offense. A judge has the option of imposing a portion or the full sentence for the original charge.
EDIT: Florida – up to $ 5,000 fine and/or up to 5 years prison for the cocaine possession alone and additional time held for the violation to see a judge and then sentenced to a portion or the full original time that you were doing probation on.
