Not a lawyer so I consulted with ChatGPT on the possible sentences in MI. Here's what it says: In Michigan, the two charges you mentioned are usually separate misdemeanors, but the possible sentences depend on the exact statute used, prior record, and whether the case is treated as a domestic-violence-related offense. I’ll outline the typical legal ranges so you understand what courts can impose. 1. Malicious Use of a Telecommunications Device This usually refers to Michigan Compiled Laws § 750.540e (malicious use of telecommunication service). This law covers using a phone, text, email, or other communication service to threaten, harass, intimidate, or repeatedly annoy someone. Standard penalty Misdemeanor Up to 6 months in jail Up to $1,000 fine Or both jail and fine Possible additional court conditions A judge can also order: Probation (often 6–24 months) No-contact order Domestic violence counseling Mental health or anger management Community service Phone / electronic contact restrictions If it is treated as a “domestic violence offense” Michigan added malicious telecommunications harassment involving a domestic relationship to the list of domestic-violence crimes. That means the court may require: Domestic violence batterer intervention program No contact with the victim Firearm restrictions under federal law enhanced probation monitoring 2. Trespassing (Entering Without Permission) The most common statute is Michigan Compiled Laws § 750.552 – Trespass upon land or premises. Standard penalty Misdemeanor Up to 30 days in jail Up to $250 fine Or both If it involves entering a dwelling or ignoring a posted order to leave, some prosecutors charge “illegal entry” or “breaking and entering without permission,” which can increase penalties. Possible outcomes: Jail (usually short or suspended) Probation Fine No-trespass order 3. Combined Sentencing (Both Charges) If someone is convicted of both malicious telecommunications use and trespassing, the judge can impose penalties for each charge. Possible combined outcomes: Common real-world outcomes (first offense) Probation (6–18 months) Domestic violence counseling No-contact order Fines and court costs 0–30 days jail (sometimes suspended) Moderate outcome 30–180 days jail Probation after release Counseling / batterer program No-contact order Maximum theoretical sentence If both charges received the maximum and were stacked: 6 months jail (telecommunications charge) 30 days jail (trespassing) Up to $1,250 in fines Plus court costs and probation Judges rarely impose the full maximum on a first offense. 4. Factors That Can Increase the Sentence Michigan judges consider: Prior criminal history Prior domestic violence Violation of a personal protection order (PPO) Threats of violence Repeated harassment Whether children were involved Whether the trespass happened at night or during a dispute These can lead to longer probation, jail time, or additional charges (like stalking). 💡 Important: In Michigan, many domestic-related misdemeanor cases resolve with probation and counseling rather than long jail sentences, especially for someone without a record.

They have to order mental health requirements. Needs a support group if he really wants help.

it will be interesting to see where he lands to resurrect his career. America loves a good comeback story so maybe he gets counseling....does some charity work....and becomes a position coach at a small FCS program. That said, it's not going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination.

It's a plea deal. He's not contesting some lesser charges than what was initially pursued.

This is as it should be! All the historonics aside, it was a love affair gone bad with really no innocent parties. Both parties move on, get on with their lives and people start to heal. If the behavior surfaces in the future, there would be reason to pursue more significant punishments.
