Carolina Panther cheeleader steers clear of jail.

[flvegan]

TAMPA - A former Carolina Panthers cheerleader avoided jail but will have to receive anger management counseling for punching a bar patron.

Victoria Renee Thomas, 21, avoided jail time by pleading no contest Monday to two misdemeanors, battery and false display of a driver's license.

Thomas entered a pretrial intervention program for the one felony charge she faced, giving a false name to an officer. When she was arrested, Thomas gave police the driver's license of another Panthers cheerleader, Kristen Owen.

Judge William Fuente approved the deal, which requires Thomas to serve a year of probation and pay $400 restitution to Mellisa Holden, who had been waiting to use the bathroom at Banana Joe's in Channelside when Thomas punched her in November.

Well, not a true disclaimer, but I did take the time to explain what I meant by the word "funny". And now I just did a disclaimer explaining what I meant by "disclaimer".
