Buket Sentenced, Released ~ Crime Report

BUKET was arrested back in May and was finally sentenced today to 10 months in prison and 256 hours of community graffiti cleanup under the watchful eyes of the law. Because he's already spent most of the sentence in jail, the judge let him off on time served. The DA was upset because they felt that BUKET, who was living in Las Vegas at the time of the arrest, should have been punished more severely.
