Currington was sentenced to five years’ probation after pleading no contest to a charge of abuse of an elderly person.

Prosecutors say he chased and threatened 70-year-old Charles Harvey Ferrelle after his boat passed Currington’s home on Tybee Island.

Ferrelle filed a lawsuit May 6 claiming Currington mocked and libeled him on a fan website two days before his plea.

Currington is accused of writing that Ferrelle “ran like a scared rabbit” and hallucinated.
