Yes he gets credit if he was booked in on the broward/dade vop in addition to new charges.
Re: Law for credit time served under probation control
He does get credit for any time he spend in jail on the VOP. However, depending on whether there were additional violations, and what the underlying charge is, he may or may not get time served.
