Answer by Ben
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.
