Now that he's got a felony on his record, he's got street cred, which should gain him instant respect in his entourage.
It looks like he's gonna get lucky.
I haven't seen the details, but a diversion -- especially for a first-time offender -- might give Nuke the opportunity to complete a few years of probation. Provided he successfully completes the diversion, I think he might have the opportunity to get the arrest expunged from his record. I would assume this is the case since he plead guilty to a felony and is avoiding jail time.
Perhaps one of our legal experts could lend more insight.
