On October 29, 2014, Rep. Dale Mallory pleaded guilty to accepting more than $350 worth of Cincinnati Bengals tickets in 2009 and 2013. In Ohio, it is considered a fourth-degree misdemeanor for any lawmaker to accept gifts from lobbyists worth more than $75. Mallory also plead guilty to a first-degree misdemeanor for not reporting the 2009 ticket. On December 11, 2014, he was sentenced to a year's probation with $600 in fines. The lawmaker faced up to seven months in jail and $1,250 in fines for the two misdemeanors.
