Answered . You are facing revocation and a VOP. Not a smart move. All you can do now is shut-up, get offline and into an experienced Trenton area criminal defense lawyer's office and start planning on how to mitigate your loss. If you are lucky you will be terminated and done. If not then you can be sentenced.
That said, violations of probation (VOP's) are very different than substantive (new) cases. The terms and conditions of probation make it such that any material and willful violation can result in a no bond hold, a bench (not a jury) hearing (trial) with lax rules of evidence, admissible hearsay and a reduced burden of proof (a "preponderance of evidence" - or "more likely than not").
You should consider taking a look at my Avvo Legal Guide on surviving probation / CC in Florida as it contains valuable information which may be beneficial to you. For your convenience a link follows.
