In Alabama theft of property in the third degree is a Class A misdemeanor. The fine is up to $500 and up to 1 year in jail.
Since the fine has not been paid there is a chance of incarceration. However, if all other terms of probation have been met, the Court may give you another chance to pay; possibly it will allow you to make payments over time.
I'm assuming that you have already spoken about this with your probation officer. If not, if there were extenauting circumstances that made it difficult for you to pay let them know.
