But he was convicted of a felony. There is no "lightly" on a felony... only varying degrees "You're F'ed!" Fines will be high. Even if probation/community service is used rather than prison (yes, PRISON... not jail), the punishment lasts for a lifetime for a felon. Many, many, many forms have a special check box for felons.
