It is a theft of your money, but you were secretly saving it for his benefit. Did he take your money or his own? You say it was all his. In Florida it could be prosecuted as grand theft, a third degree felony for which the maximum would be 5 years in prison. You have the option of calling the cops and reporting the crime. He did not know it was for him at the time he took it from you. Yes, it is a crime.

You are most likely completely wrong. You need to get a criminal defense attorney. You are probably charged under a constructive possession theory, and the attorney you hire will know what to do.

You have the procedural process of your case all confused. First, IF you resolved the case and received probation, and failed to complete all terms and conditions of probation, then you have a violation of probation warrant, and the case cannot be transferred to the DA's office. Conversely, IF you were in some type of pre-trial diversion program, and failed to complete all of the terms and conditions of probation, then you have a warrant on the original charges, and the DA's office could be considering felony charges on the original misdemeanor offenses. You should probably retain an attorney.
