My question involves criminal law for the state of: Iowa

Hi. I am trying to find out if the Anderson v State case, which allows for credit against a suspended sentence in the case of revocation of probation also applies to a sentence for misdemeanor which does not carry a prison term.

The charge was a simple possession of marijuana charge and the sentence was 30 days in jail, 28 of those days were suspended, given one year of probation, credit for time served.

Two days jail were served presentencing and another two days were served as part of the sentence. Then was placed on supervised probation. There is currently a probation revocation hearing/warrant for violation of probation.

My question is, if Anderson v State does apply, then would the sentence be essentially fulfilled and at hearing the case discharged as the sentence would be expired. The way I understand Anderson v State is that there is day for day credit given for any supervised probation period. Since the suspended sentence was only 28 days, I presume that is the maximum that the judge could order in a revocation of probation, if there was several months served on probation before initiation of a revocation/warrant being issued, does that time on probation become credit towards the suspended sentence as it would if the sentence were for a longer term and there were a suspended prison sentence/probation.

Anyone who could offer clarification on this issue would be greatly appreciated. I have looked online to try to find information in regards to how this case applies to suspended jail terms/probation, but keep coming up empty handed. All I can seem to find is the application of the case law where a prison sentence is suspended and probation given.

Thank you for your help!
