Former NBA All-Star Alvin Robertson was ordered to serve six months in jail for a burglary conviction.

Robertson was convicted in October of burglarizing the apartment of ex-girlfriend Sharon Raeford. Jurors decided he should be placed on 10 years’ probation and fined $10,000.

During a court appearance to set terms of probation, state District Judge Raymond Angelini ordered the 34-year-old to serve six months in the Bexar County Jail.

The judge also ordered Robertson to do 500 hours of community service and to pay $27,000 in restitution.
