Latest documented facts only; source publication/update through 2026-09-28. Sentence status current means latest known reported order, not present custody. Unknown sentence or present case status is not a finding of dismissal or acquittal. Calendar confirms two numbered filed allegations. Later publisher reports a guilty plea and two-year term without identifying which charge was admitted, so individual dispositions remain unknown.
