Eastern Michigan's Emoni Bates gets probation; prosecutor issues warning in wake of gun arrests

Eastern Michigan basketball star Emoni Bates' legal woes are now behind him.

Bates was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months of probation stemming from his arrest on felony gun charges after he was pulled over in September. He pled down to a misdemeanor gun charge in October.

Judge Patrick Conlin of Washtenaw County Circuit Court sentenced Bates, 18, under the Holmes Youthful Training Act (HYTA), meaning that the misdemeanor conviction will be scrubbed from his record after he completes a successful probation period. Conlin waived a fine, which could've been as much as $2,500.
