FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WTXL) - The brother of the suspected Florida high school gunman has been released from jail after pleading no contest to a trespassing charge.

Zachary Cruz was released from the Broward County jail hours after being sentenced to time served and six months of probation for skateboarding on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School campus.

Cruz has been ordered to enroll in therapy, wear an ankle monitor and cannot possess firearms or ammunition. He also can't come within a mile of the school.

The 18-year-old had been held on $500,000 bail since his arrest on March 19.
