The worst that can happen is that you could be sent to prison for six months (the maximum sentence for the offence).

The likely outcome, in view of your previous good character and based on your very brief description of the event, is that you will be ordered to pay a fine or, if you are very fortunate, be subject to a Conditional Discharge.
