A B.C. man who drove his car into Burrard Inlet last March while livestreaming the event has been granted a conditional discharge and placed on a year’s probation after pleading guilty to mischief under $5,000.

On Wednesday, a judge in Port Coquitlam, B.C., handed Jawad Mazen Fawwaz, who was born in 2004, a conditional discharge and a $100 fine, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service.
