As a part of the deal, instead of jail time, Kinman must serve 5 years of supervised probation and must enroll in and complete one year in a substance abuse program in Alabama. Kinman's also banned from using any drugs, alcohol, or other mind altering substances.

Court documents show the deal also prevents him from holding any public office during the time of his probation.

Kinman initially entered a rehab program on Feb. 27 but retained his position as sheriff.
