A Sioux Falls, S.D., high school golf standout has been given a suspended jail sentence for taking prescription pills illegally.
Grant Wynia was given a 120-day suspended sentence and ordered to perform community service every week until he leaves for college.
Wynia was charged in May for taking the painkiller hydrocodone illegally during the past school year. He and basketball standout Cody Larson had been suspended from the basketball team in February. Larson, who will play basketball for the University of Florida in the fall, received a similar sentence in May.
Wynia will golf at Southern Illinois University. Coach Derrick Brown says it’s a concern when any of his athletes are involved in a criminal case but that Wynia has been upfront about it. Wynia says he’s sorry for what he did and has learned from it.
