It does not usually depend on how much you spent in jail, but what the maximum possible penalty is and what you have been given by court. 1 yaer is a "magic" number here. You do not provide much information on this. So, it is hard to say.

If you were given 6 months jail in addition to Probation then are deportable. Probation in fact is a suspended sentence.
You must check get Certificate of Disposition from the count and check with some good Immigration Lawyer.
May God solve your problems.
