Associated Press

MARKHAM, Ill. -- Atlanta Hawks forward Glenn Robinson was found guilty Thursday on domestic battery and assault charges for shoving his former fiancee in her house last July.

He was found not guilty on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm, said Jerry Lawrence, a spokesman for the Cook County state attorney's office.

Jurors deliberated about two hours, Lawrence said.

Cook County Circuit Court Judge Christopher Donnelly sentenced Robinson to one year conditional discharge, which is a form of probation. Robinson also was sentenced to undergo anger management counseling and complete five days of a work program run by the sheriff's office.

Prosecutors said Robinson went to the Chicago Heights home of Jonta French, his ex-fiancee and mother of his daughter, and pushed and threatened her, demanding to know where she put a pistol he had left there. Robinson apologized publicly at the time.

In February, a judge issued a warrant for Robinson's arrest because he missed a hearing in the case. The warrant was set aside when Robinson later appeared in court.
