It depends on state law. Since you did not name your state, no one can say.
In California a misdemeanor hit and run has the potential for jail time. Chances are that is the case in every state.
Consult local counsel.

I am in florida. DO you know what the percentage of the punishment being jail time would be. When you say potential what would cause it to happen. I did leave the guy all my infomation and i spoke with the officer and clarified everything that happened. Also there were no injuries

I have no idea about FL law on this issue. I suspect that jail time would be unlikely, but theoretically possible.
