Should I tell my probation officer about my driving on a suspended license ticket?

I was pulled over for driving on a suspended license twice the first time I was issued a fine of $400, the second time the judge only offered 15 days in county jail. I am currently on probation and am worried the offer will

automatically trigger a violation of probation. The officer told me that I didn’t have to tell my probation officer, however if my public defender can’t get me out of the jail sentence, should I tell my probation officer first before he finds out on his own?
