Trent takes a plea deal on his ARPA/vandalism case. Apparently he has pleaded guilty to the charges, and now has to pay a $10,000 fine but will do no jail time. According to the article it is estimated to take about $9,000 to mitigate the damage to the Descending Sheep panel. Well I'm not terribly great with math, but that leaves only $1,000 in punitive damages. Admittedly $10,000 is a fair chunk of change (I certainly couldn't come up with that much scratch), but since it will barely covered the repair work, it doesn't seem as impressive as upon first blush.
None the less, it is a step in the right direction. I'm glad to see this thing through to a successful end. Let's make sure no more damage occurs!
I would also like to say "thanks" to those that showed up to yesterday's Site Patrol Training. Demonstrated some site patrol techniques and generally had fun.
