Trump stage jumper released from probation

The Wright State University student who jumped a barrier at a March Donald Trump rally in Dayton is off probation.

Judge Sharon Ovington ordered on Thursday to cut short a scheduled, one-year probation for Thomas DiMassimo based on his probation officer’s recommendation and without objection from the U.S. attorney’s office, according to the Associated Press.

DiMassimo, an acting major, had been charged with a federal misdemeanor for illegally entering a “cordoned off and otherwise restricted area where a person protected by the Secret Service was temporarily visiting” when he jumped a barrier and rushed the stage March 12 during a Trump rally at Dayton International Airport.

DiMassimo pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of illegally entering a restricted area in July and was ordered to pay a $250 fine. Ovington also ordered him to not attend any Republican presidential event, not to possess any firearm and that he must return a probation officer’s phone call within 72 hours.
