If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The chances are that the probation will be revoked and he will face whatever penalty that the court decides to impose for the original DUI. If counsel is obtained, an artful attorney might be able to convince the prosecutor and/or the judge that this was an unrelated offense and should not affect the other case.
