Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My boyfriend was arrested a few months before we started dating a year ago for burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, and he was put on 5 years probation. a few months after we had been together he got arrested again for violation of probation with a dirty urine and a new charge of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling instead this time he was innocent of his crime and his codefendant even stated so, so they put my boyfriend in a drug rehab for six months, well at the drug rehab center a mishap happened and he ending up leaving before the six months were up. he got rearrested again and luckily the judge sent him back to rehab. This whole time, he hadn't wanted to go back to the rehab he just wanted to get a job and prove he was a good citizen so he left again. Now yesterday he got pulled over in a different county and the cop arrested him for violation of probation for being out in a different county past 10pm. Now he is sitting in a different county jail. Theres a warrant out for his arrest in the first county and i have no clue whats going to happen next. What im really asking for is some insight to multiple different outcomes that i can work on achieving or just what am i to expect because he scores out to 30 years in prison but he is still young(19 almost 20) so maybe theres still hope and i do understand that hes been in alot of trouble but before this there is no other criminal record. What do i do?

As you put it, there are many different outcomes, from probation to 30 years. It's not really a question that can be answered on this forum. You need to talk to an attorney, whether it be hiring one or getting a public defender. Give them specific details and they will have a better idea of what he is looking at.
