A jury on Thursday found Gregory Timm, the man who drove his van into a GOP voter registration tentlast February, guilty of criminal mischief.

Timm was found not guilty on two charges of aggravated assault. He was given a sentence of 60-days in the Duval County jail with credit for 60-days time served.

The jury deliberated for less than an hour.

Timm, 28, recorded video on his cellphone as he drove into a voter registration tent set up in the parking lot at the intersection of Atlantic and Kernan Boulevards. That video became a central part of the defense’s argument.

“I think it got lost, the message. I think the global media became washed with the accusation I tried to hurt people. My entire message got lost,” Timm testified.
