He has been sentenced to three years of probation and the probation terms include participation in a 52-week domestic violence counseling program, have no contact with the victim, and not appeal his termination from the Rio Dell police department nor seek employment with any law enforcement agency for the duration of probation.

Prior to accepting his plea, the terms of the plea and sentence were discussed with both the current victim as well as his former wife and both agreed this was an appropriate resolution. His family appreciates his efforts at counseling and that he will agree to participate in a domestic violence counseling program as part of his probation.
