Angles will pay $1,156.26 in fines and additional court costs along with restitution. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail, with 30 suspended. Angles served three days in jail and has 27 days of electronic home monitoring. He will serve 60 hours of community service and his hunting privileges were suspended for three years.
