Your boyfriend has two issues: 1) the probation violation and 2) the crimes for which he was recently arrested. It is possible that the PD could ask the court to release him on house arrest but this is only a "pre-trial release" condition. This doesn't mean that he wouldn't have to do jail/prison time later. I am a former judicial officer from Marion County. If I had information on what courts his cases were in, I could give you a better idea of what type of sentence to expect.
