Two years later, he faced multiple probation violations, including drinking alcohol and failing to complete mandatory domestic violence classes, for which police arrested him. Then on 5 June, a judge ordered him to undergo a mental health exam. Reportedly, he caused a scene in a San Diego court proceeding.
Similarly, Robbins got a four-year-and-eight-month sentence on 7 December 2015. Reportedly, he sent threatening letters to a manager and his wife, who lived in a mobile home park with him in Oceanside, California.
After serving 80 percent of his sentence at California Institution for Men and a psychiatric hospital, the court allowed his parole in 2019, under the conditions that he avoided alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs.
