The answer depends on the terms of your pretrial diversion. You can be receive up to the maximum punishment as detailed in your deal. Your bigger problem is the new felony charges are punishable up to 7 years in jail so whatever punishment you face on the old misdemeanor charges is not as bad as the new charges.
