We're still waiting for more details, but according to a Sun-Times tweet Abbate has been sentenced to two years probation for the taped beating of bartender Karolina Obrycka. He was found guilty on a charge of aggravated battery three weeks ago.

Update: A Chicago Breaking News story confirms the probation sentence. Well. We guess that sends a message, huh?

Update 2: Based on the CBN story linked above, Abbate's sentence also includes, "a curfew of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for Abbate. The cop must also attend anger management classes, undergo alcohol evaluation and perform 130 hours of community service."
