Pitt guard Ithiel Horton resolved his legal issues on Wednesday, as he pled guilty to lesser charges than those he initially faced and was sentenced to 80 hours of community service as part of a plea agreement.
Horton’s aggravated assault charge, a felony and his most serious charge, was dropped, and he pled guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of public intoxication. In addition to community service, Horton will have to take anger management classes and undergo drug and alcohol evaluations as part of the plea agreement that was negotiated.
“It took a long time to get here,” said Phil DiLucente, Horton’s attorney.
