<td width="511">LEOLA, Pa. -- A retired high school teacher received three
years of federal probation and a $5,000 fine for sending a threatening
e-mail message about Philadelphia 76ers star <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/profiles/profile/3094.html">Allen
Iverson</a> and his daughter.


U.S. District Judge Franklin S. Van Antwerpen also ordered Jay W.
&quot;Bill&quot; Charles, 55, to complete 100 hours of community service
by tutoring minority students in mathematics.


Charles, of Leola, Pa., apologized at Tuesday's sentencing at the
federal courthouse in Easton.


&quot;I deeply apologize to Allen Iverson and his family for my lack of
judgment and stupidity,&quot; Charles said. &quot;Hopefully, he will find
it in his heart to forgive me. I never felt any animosity, hatred,
prejudice or viciousness toward the Iversons.&quot;


Iverson did not attend the sentencing, but a prosecutor read a letter
from him in court.


&quot;I don't believe anyone has a right to threaten me or my
children,&quot; Iverson wrote. &quot;Since receiving the unprovoked
threat, I have moved my family into a home with a sophisticated security
system and hired more security to guard my children.&quot;


Charles sent the threat to Philadelphia radio station WIP-AM on May 16;
in it, he described shattering Iverson's kneecaps and dismembering his
daughter.


Charles, who had no prior criminal record, pleaded guilty July 28 to
one felony count of transmitting interstate threatening communications.
His message was considered an interstate communication because it went
through a server in Atlanta.</p>

Dang. Kneecaps and dismembering daughter? Definately a loony. What surprises me is that he didn't have any previous records.
