Back in December, FTVLive told you that Carlos Zapata, a reporter with Spanish-language station KWHYwas busted for felony domestic violence after he allegedly seriously injured his wife by throwing a flower pot at her head, cops said.

Police say that the pot struck the woman "full force."

Zapata has now been sentenced to five years of formal probation after he pleaded no contest to the charges. 

The judge also ordered  Zapata to attend domestic violence counseling for a year after entering the plea to a felony count of willfully inflicting corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon his spouse.
