BRADENTON, Fla. — Jung Ho Kang received an eight-month suspended sentence from Seoul’s Central District Court for driving under the influence of alcohol, according to a report from the Yonhap News Agency Thursday night.
Kang’s sentence is suspended for two years.
Kang missed the start of Pirates spring training last month because he had to remain in Korea for his Feb. 22 trial and sentencing Thursday night, Friday morning in Korea. Prosecutors asked for a fine of 15 million won (about $13,000), but the court disagreed, deeming Kang’s case serious enough to go to trial.
