A University of California, Berkeley law school graduate was sentenced to probation on Monday for beheading an exotic bird at a Las Vegas casino in 2012.
Justin Teixeira received the four years of probation after completing a prison boot camp program that consisted of 190 days of counseling, educational and physical training programs, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
His sentence also includes 16 hours a month of unpaid work at an animal shelter.
Teixeira pleaded guilty to the felony last year for decapitating a 14-year-old helmeted guinea fowl at the Flamingo’s Wildlife Habitat.
Thanks to his deal, the crime will be reduced to a gross misdemeanor, as long as his successfully completes his probation.
Two other law school students reportedly took plea deals in the case. Both men served two days in jail and were fined, according to the Review-Journal.
According to the state, alcohol was involved in the crime.
