Prosecutors want probation revoked for re-arrested 'Goons' attacker

Police notified the Maricopa County District Attorney's Office, which filed a motion Monday to revoke Pennington's probation. In addition to probation, Pennington was sentenced to 30 days of deferred jail time, which is essentially an incentive to comply with the terms of probation. If a defendant complies with their probation conditions, they will likely avoid a deferred prison sentence.

The June 13 conviction was the second handed down by Pennington in a matter of days. On June 10, he was sentenced in Pinal County to three years of probation for participating in the beating of a 16-year-old boy on November 18, 2023 near San Tan Mountain Regional Park, in an area known as the name Wagon Wheel. His sentence in Pinal County came with a possible 120 days in jail for a probation violation. As in Maricopa County, Pennington pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in April.

“If you don't pass your probation, if you don't follow the conditions of probation, you're going to prison,” Pinal County Superior Court Judge Danielle Harris said during Pennington's sentencing on June 10.

Harris told Pennington that his probation conditions required him to follow the law and that he could not associate with anyone who violated the law. The conditions required Pennington not possess or consume alcohol, she said.
