Respondent and a friend had conspired to set a trap, baited with a fake' sale of marijuana, for the alleged purpose of obtaining the return of $200 that a state undercover informant had allegedly stolen from respondent’s wife and his friend’s ex-wife “Furthermore, the grievance committee found that Respondent pled guilty (sic) to the charge of conspiracy to commit a felony, to wit: grand larceny (respondent pled nollo contendere to the charge). Upon recommendation of the Florida Parole and Probation Commission, Circuit Court Judge Stephen L. Dakan withheld adjudication of guilt and placed Respondent on probation for one year.”
