The judge who overheard Reed’s proceedings ruled probation before judgment, which provides Reed — a first-time offender — to avoid having a conviction entered into his record if the terms of the probation period are met. Reed will begin his sentence May 11.
“Trayvon understands he must be held accountable for his actions,” Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl said in a statement Wednesday. “I’m proud of how Trayvon is learning from his mistake and taken advantage of his opportunity at Auburn to become a better student, teammate and citizen, and I understand the Judge also recognized how well he has conducted himself academically and in community service.
