Wilkerson, at age 18, received 10 years deferred adjudication, was required to pay a $1,000 fine, restitution to the victim in the unauthorized use of vehicle case, and required to attend an Intermediate Sanctioned Facility Cognitive 90-day program on the evading arrest are detention with a vehicle charge.
