Turning his life around.
Via WFAA:
A string of legal troubles continues for Dominique Alexander, the leader of the Next Generation Action Network. He was sentenced Friday to two years in jail for a probation violation.
Alexander, who was on 10 years’ probation for a 2009 charge of injuring a child, had his probation revoked by a judge Friday, court officials told News 8.
News 8 was told Alexander won’t serve the entire sentence because previous time spent in jail will count toward the two years. Whether or not Alexander qualifies for parole will be determined later.
Alexander was removed from a city council meeting Aug. 10 after a confrontation with Mayor Mike Rawlings. He was then arrested on 10 outstanding warrants — nine in Dallas and one in Collin County — and spent the night in jail.
He had also denied Dallas Police Chief David Brown’s request for the Next Generation Action Network’s downtown march to be canceled that night.
