Miami recruit Willie Williams entered a plea of no contest to two charges in a Gainesville courtroom Monday, ending most of the legal battles stemming from a January recruiting visit to the University of Florida.

For one felony count of criminal mischief and one misdemeanor count of battery, Williams was sentenced to a total of one year probation and must pay restitution, State Attorney Bill Cervone said.

Perhaps more relevant to his football career, the plea means Williams violated his previous probation. As a result, Williams will meet with a Broward County judge June 30 to finalize his fate for the violation.

"These pleas constitute that he violated his probation," Cervone said. "Now the judge [in Broward County] will have to decide how to deal with him."

Miami won't officially offer Williams a scholarship until an admissions hearing, which will take place once his legal matters are decided -- likely in early July.

Williams faced three charges stemming from the same recruiting weekend trip in January. Monday's no-contest pleas settled two of them -- a misdemeanor charge of hugging a female student against her will and a felony charge of setting off fire extinguishers in a Gainesville hotel.

Although no restitution was required for hugging the female student, Williams was forced to pay $1,500 for setting off the extinguishers, Cervone said.

Williams settled another battery charge -- an incident at a Gainesville nightclub -- out of court. Although criminal charges were not pursued, Williams must pay $1,300 restitution to the victim.

Currently under house arrest, Williams has been wearing an electronic ankle monitor since February, when he was accused of violating his probation on the recruiting trip to Gainesville.

Sounds like a perfect fit for Miami. :wave:
