Bill McNutt Has Completed His Community Service

In the June issue of the “print product,” we ran a story titled “Busted on the Hilltop,” about the strange case of Bill McNutt, who was arrested at SMU for trespassing. The odd arrest led to all sorts of questions about the guy’s past and about the curious manner in which he throws dinner parties. Well, right after our press deadline, I got a letter from McNutt’s lawyer informing us that on April 30, his client struck an agreement with the DA’s office to perform 24 hours of community service, at which point the charge against McNutt would be reduced to a class “C” misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. On May 7, after McNutt completed said community service, a five-month deferred adjudication probation was ordered. McNutt paid a $100 fine and $222 in court costs. If he keeps his nose clean for five months, the charge against him will be dismissed.
