If a person is arrested for an extreme DUI while on probation what could be the possible penalties?

The person in question was on a probabtion for a previous driving offense that occured 3 months before the DUI offense. Looking at his record I am assuming that "Probation Assessment" means he is on probation, is that correct?

If the defendant is on misdemeanor probation, the biggest concern is not necessarily getting revoked, but the potential second-time extreme or even aggravated DUI charges. Aggravated DUI charges include a four month minimum prison term; second time extreme DUI charges include a mandatory 120 day jail term. All this, however, assumes the cases against the person in question are strong. They may not be.
