Reviewed sting-related legal outcome. Dismissed domestic-violence allegations are a separate case. Saved three-page arrest affidavit establishes allegations, not this sentence. Final guilty plea reported, but no reliable mapping of each initial affidavit count to final disposition. Affidavit says four total allegations but names three on the viewed first page; unspecified fourth not invented.
