Marler was resisting arrest as a deputy tried to handcuff him leading to both falling 15 feet into an irrigation ditch. A few days later, he stole from a man near First and Indian School, threw rocks at the victim, and chased him. These charges were dismissed as part of the deal.
He also pled guilty to stealing a car and fleeing charges for a crash involving a stolen car back in November. Marler is facing up to three years behind bars.
