If you're on probation and still a minor, could be a full 90 days.

You could receive a maximum of 90 days in jail and if you're currently on probation, any guilty plea could result in a probation violation and you could be sentenced to the maximum on that crime, as well. If you're under 21 and a judge sees fit, though I find it unlikely, he could take a plea under the Holmes Youth Trainee Act and then you would not have a conviction. http://www.wolverinelaw.com
