Under the terms of a plea agreement accepted by President Judge William J. Furber Jr., Driver will have to attend and complete Diversity and Interfaith classes, undergo a mental health evaluation and comply with any recommendations stemming from the evaluation and perform 36 hours of community service by participating in the “Feed Philly” program.
