Minor was adjudicated delinquent at age 15, and sentenced to 5 years probation. State filed petition alleging probation violation, and minor, then age 20, was ordered to serve 5 days in county jail. Court lacked authority, under Juvenile Court Act, to sentence minor to time in county jail, as Section 5-710 of Act authorizes only 30-day term in juvenile detention. A minor who violates probation is subject to being resentenced to any other sentence available at time of initial sentence under Section 5-710 of the Act. (LYTTON and McDADE, concurring.)
