Mr. Collins was then sentenced to six months in county jail, five years’ probation, 50 hours of community service, $2,238.72 shared restitution and $375 in court fees.

He had been accused of, on Jan. 13 and 14, breaking into two seasonal camps and Ziggy’s Bar and Restaurant, all on South Shore Road in the town of Diana, causing damage, stealing various items and setting fire to one of the camps.
