Yes, you can go to jail. Probation is the sentence a person gets in lieu of going to jail. If a person violates their probation, what else can be done by the courts but jail or electronic home monitoring?

The probation is erased and you face the additional charge, with the full range of possible penalties, in addition to the charge of breaking (note the spelling) the terms of the probation.
So while the original charge might not have included jail time, the combined offenses might. Depends on the initial offense, the circumstances of breaking probation, and the judge, who has a great deal of latitude in a case like that.
