Dishman, 25, entered guilty pleas before General Sessions Judge Bill Locke last week. He was ordered to serve 90 days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence on the reduced charge of simple assault and was warned to stay away from Walmart. Dishman was given two consecutive 11-29 sentences, meaning he will owe the state two years in jail should he get into any more trouble in the next two years.
