In a plea deal September 9, 2016 Schauf was sentenced to 113 days in the county jail, probation for 30 months, ordered to undergo drug treatment and ordered to pay $2,885 in fines and fees, of which he still owes $418.26.
Schauf also has pending felony cases in Williamson County including one from September 22, 2016 in which he is charged with Aggravated Battery in a Public Place and another from July 17 in which he is charged with Manufacture/ Delivery of Cannabis.
He also has several pending Saline County cases including one from January 9, 2016 in which he is charged with Domestic Battery and another from November 30 in which he is charged with Driving Suspended.
