A judge sentenced a former Faulkner University student to join the military and perform community service for a post he made on Facebook that led to a campus lockdown.
Zachary Lambert, 23, agreed to plead guilty to the misdemeanor charge of harassing communications for a message that made reference to a deadly campus attack at Virginia Tech in 2007.
Lambert originally was charged with making a terrorist threat, a felony, and placed in jail on $500,000 bond.
Montgomery County Circuit Judge Tracy McCooey handed down a suspended three-month sentence and two years of probation.
McCooey told Lambert that he must join the military as a condition of his probation.
"You are going into the military. That is not a choice," she said.
