For those who do not know, a "suspended" sentence means it is not enforced, but could potentially be enforced if conditions are violated, such as if he doesn't pay the $3,670. It's really just a tool to make him pay the $3,670.
Let me assure you that normal people, if they get caught for theft like this, generally face much more serious consequences than just paying restitution. Especially if it's a man being charged.
His crime was felony theft. He pled to a misdemeanor and got a wrist slap.
He has another case against him in Minneapolis & an investigation for a case where he stole a black woman's luggage & was in photos where she recognized her clothes (which she had designed) and posted about it on Twitter.
