FORT LAUDERDALE – The Broward County man who pulled a gun on a group of Black teen protesters on Martin Luther King Jr. Day four years ago on Tuesday accepted a plea deal following a confrontation with the participants.
Mark Bartlett pleaded guilty to five counts and was ordered to serve a total of 10 years of probation in connection with the 2019 incident. He was also ordered to not have contact with the victims and must serve over 300 hours of community service.
If Bartlett had not accepted the plea deal, he was facing up to 55 years in prison for the tirade directed towards the MLK holiday participants.
