His adjudication was withheld and he was sentenced to 6 months of probation with the possibility of early termination. He was ordered to complete a Florida fishing regulations course, pay $250 in fines, and pay $38 in fees. Approximately 5 months later, his probation was terminated after satisfying the conditions.
