Memphis, TX — A Wellington man has been sentenced to probation following a felony plea in Hall County’s 100th Judicial District Court.
Jacob Arron Florez, 27, pleaded guilty on Monday to assault family violence by strangulation, a third-degree felony. He was sentenced to three years of probation.
The case was prosecuted by District Attorney Luke Inman and Assistant District Attorney Harley Caudle. Judge Dale Rabe presided over the proceedings.
Florez was originally arrested on March 25 by Collingsworth County Sheriff's Deputy Randy Bond. A Collingsworth County Grand Jury indicted him on June 5.
As part of his sentence, Florez must pay a $3,000 fine, $376 in court costs, and $450 in attorney’s fees. He is also required to complete 200 hours of community service and attend an anger management program. If he violates probation terms, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
