Cheating Rat Bastards

The end of the update states, “Both men remain out on bond until their sentencing.” This tells me it’s a criminal case. Sentencing involves jail time. Misdemeanors are usually limited to one year or less in county jail. State prison is usually reserved for felons and starts at at least one year.

I’m guessing that they will get probation, have to return any winnings received from the event and pay a fine as well as attend some training classes.

Here’s a little more detail from U.S. News and World Report:

“As part of a plea deal, Runyan and Cominsky pleaded guilty to cheating and unlawful ownership of wild animals and agreed to three-year suspensions of their fishing licenses. Cominsky also agreed to give up his bass boat worth $100,000.
Prosecutors agreed to drop attempted grand theft and possessing criminal tools charges.”

Both men are scheduled to be sentenced May 11. Prosecutors plan to recommend a sentence of six months' probation and later ask for an expungement of their convictions if they successfully complete their probation, said James Gallagher, an assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor.”
