The violation of probation for the gun charge will trump any and all withdrawal of charges levied by his ex-girlfriend.

The violation of probation for the gun charge will trump any and all withdrawal of charges levied by his ex-girlfriend. A probation violation with a gun in a mandatory minimum sentence of five years. He will do the balance of his sentence plus the gun charge.
