Legal Question in Criminal Law in Utah

So I was caught shoplifting from wal-mart on dec 31st of 09 i'm still on probation for it and stupidly I tried it again today with a couple cans of soda and was again caught (while still on probation) The officer I was talking to told me that I most likely would not face jail time is that true? Trust me I feel horrible and I have learned my lesson.
