That depends on a number of factors, including the nature of your first offense, and the prosecutor you are dealing with. It is a good factor that you have repaid the money.

If you don't have an attorney yet, you should seek an attorney to represent you in the matter to minimize the chances of going to jail.

Moreover, you shall not rely on the information I am providing you, as it is only for your general knowledge and educational purposes. Consider it a good first step in your knowledge acquisition, but not legal advice. Indeed, my analysis is based on the extremely limited facts you have given me, and new facts could substantially alter any answer I give.
