DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The father of a suburban Philadelphia woman who faked her own abduction and fled with her daughter to Disney World has been sentenced to probation in connection with a scuffle with TV cameramen.

Bucks County Judge Wallace Bateman says William Siner was understandably upset at his daughter’s court hearing that day in late August, but he shouldn’t have taken it out on two men simply doing their jobs.

The judge sentenced the 67-year-old Delaware man on Friday to 18 months of probation. Siner pleaded no contest to simple assault charges.

Siner’s daughter, Bonnie Sweeten, is in prison after pleading guilty to charges of identity theft and making false reports to police.
