Dillman also noted that Stoll was not present in court this morning.
Katie Strang of ESPN.com also reported the shift in Stoll’s status:
Neither of the two misdemeanors are drug-related charges, however, so any potential immigration issues for the Canadian-born Stoll should no longer be an impediment should a team want to sign the veteran center.
Two misdemeanors for Stoll: 1) provoking commission of breach of peace and 2) trespass. 120 days to complete 32 hrs of community service
