Diego Sanchez receives month-long prison sentence for probation violation

Diego Sanchez has been sentenced to 30 days in prison after violating probation terms imposed for felony charges related to illegal gun use. The ruling was made on October 7 by Judge Stan Whitaker in New Mexico. Sanchez was initially sentenced to five years of supervised probation but was arrested last month for having a blood alcohol level more than double the legal limit. Following this violation, the judge opted for a shorter penalty during the hearing, rather than imposing a longer sentence. After completing his jail time, Sanchez must undergo an inpatient rehabilitation program and mental health counseling.
