Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

I have a relative being held without bail and when I looked up his information, under charge degree, it shows F4. I would like to know what this charge means and to what degree is it. How severe and serious of time are we looking at here? Please keep in mind that the person is already on probation.

Thanks
