The defense team asked to postpone Aiken’s sentencing until September 20 at 1:30 p.m., which the judge granted. He was released and told that he will be given the maximum sentence if he fails to show up to his sentencing.

Aiken had been charged with larceny petit theft twice in 2012, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
