At his sentencing, the 24-year-old apologized for his actions and acknowledged making poor decisions. In December, he pleaded guilty to a felony count of threats of violence. As part of his plea deal, prosecutors dropped a felony fifth-degree drug possession charge against him.

The terms of his sentencing are 120 days in the workhouse beginning in May, three years probation, and drug testing. He must also complete anger management training, and pay a $3,000 fine. If he abides by these terms, his conviction will be reduced to a misdemeanor. Still, he is no long allowed to own firearms.
