Former Upper Sandusky Police Chief Robert Hollis was sentenced to a 30-day suspended jail sentence and fined $1,255.13 on Wednesday in Upper Sandusky Municipal Court.
Hollis, who was convicted of unlawful restraint in March, also was placed on community control for two years and cannot leave the state without the permission of his probation officer.
He also is to complete and pay for psychiatric and psychological assessments, a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory test and all recommended counseling determined appropriate from this testing.
If Hollis is required to seek counseling, he also has a stipulation that he may neither use nor possess any drugs or alcohol.
Hollis had no comment on the sentence and said he would be appealing the conviction.
The former chief, who submitted his medical retirement to the city on April 21, started the day with a new attorney, as attorney Dennis Pfeifer removed himself for the case.

Scott Washburn listened to his grandfather.
And it paid off.
When the Upper Sandusky mayor remembered his grandfather talking about how important town hall meetings were, he decided to try one.
Washburn deemed Wednesday night's town hall meeting a success as he estimated around 100 people turned out to hear what city officials had to say and answer questions the community had as well.
"I've never been to a town hall meeting before. My Grandpa Washburn always used to talk about them and so it was something I always wanted to try," Washburn said. "The people that were there were very knowledgable and asked a lot, a lot of great questions."
Washburn spoke first, and introduced the council and supervisors.
One of the main things he talked about was the new water plant and water tower.
