As we previously reported, the 23-year-old was charged with battery criminal mischief and petty theft -- all misdemeanors -- after he allegedly roughed a dude up in an apartment parking lot in Florida back in July.
Officials say Fowler got upset with man after he criticized his driving -- and proceeded to hit the guy, knock off his glasses, stepped on them ... and then grabbed the man's bag of newly purchased liquor and threw it in a nearby lake.
Fowler was facing about a year in jail -- but instead cut a deal in which he plead no contest to all 3 counts and in exchange he got 12 months probation, 75 hours of community service and more than $1,000 in fines.
