Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

my husband is in a florida county jail on a bugulary and grand theft charge, he was on probation at the time for a prior possession charge, he has charges pending on 2 other houses he admitted breaking in to that are pending , he has 2 more counts of grand theft and 1 more count of bugulary and 1 count of armed bugulary which we dont understand he entered a unoccupied house and stole some guns and they r calling it armed bugulary he did not enter the home with a weapon at all..i also look for them to give him a vop charge and we are scared they are going to try to charge him for having a gun by a convicted felon because of him being on probation at the time...also they say the pawn shops may try to press charges for the stolen property but they havent so far..what should we do to get some of these charges dropped or reduced, he has never been in trouble or spent a day in jail till the possesion charge, what do you think could happen

If you commit an unarmed burglary in Florida and steal a gun from the premises it becomes an armed burglarly. Your husband is likely to be incarcerated for a long time for violation of probation.
