If your on probation (for a felony) and get taken to jail for driving w/out a license?(PLEASE READ)?

LAWYERS, if any, please help.
Can they send you to prison for that? My dads a lawyer and says they will just give him a ticket, it’s a small ticket and no big deal, like J-walking.
He says in order for someone to really mess up and get sent to prison, you would need to commit a bad crime such as another felony or a DUI or something.
INFO:
My boyfriend is in jail right now because he got caught driving w/out a license. NOT on the street but just in a parking lot. THe jail website hes in now, online says its a probation violation but my dad also says its up to his PO if he gets revoked.
Anyone agree with my dad or can they really send you for a small traffic ticket like that?
Please DONT try to be all “goody goody” on me and say “anyone who spits wrong on probation gets taken to prison”, i want to know the odds of him going for real.
All I need is a straight up answer thanks.
Hes on probation, not parol, never been to prison.
Hes on probation for armed robbery and assault. Been doing everything hes supposed to be doing for the past 4 onths that hes been on probation. He has 2 years left to go. Never got i trouble while on probation before this.
AND also, so it IS up to his PO whether or not he needs to go to court? Or can his PO just say hes free to go w/out going to court?

Yes,
he’s on “parole”–not probation.

It is up to the PO, its a misdemeanor, just a bar above petty tickets (j-walking, broken tail light, etc.) his PO isn’t going to send him back to prison for it unless he has violated parole and been give a warning for something else recently, then he might consider it but the chances are still slim.
