Probation IS a sentence for being found guilty of an offense.

It is at the judge's discretion that they issued a probation sentence rather than sending the convicted defendant to jail.

If you violate the judge's trust they may choose to send you to jail to serve the reaminder of your sentence behind bars.

It depends on how serious the probation violation is considered to be. Your violation wasn't a repeat of the offense you were on probation for, so it's really up to your probation officer. He can give you a warning and another chance, or he can have you arrested and sent to a hearing where your probation could be revoked, and you would serve out your jail sentence.
