This is one of those answers for which I would like to have my crystal ball. I broke it about 12 years ago. The answer is; "it depends on how mad the judge will be". You may have to serve your entire sentence and pay all of your fines before you are released. You may serve a part of your sentence and be put on probation and pay your fines--or some combination thereof.

Up until now you have been very fortunate that you have not been caught. I suggest you hire an attorney who practices in that particular municipal court to argue your case. This attorney may be able to soften your consequences.
