BARTOW | An atheist accepted a plea deal today on charges of resisting officers last year when he was protesting prayer before a Polk County School Board meeting.

Polk County Judge John Kirkland sentenced John Albert Kieffer to a year of probation as part of a plea deal with prosecutors.

Kieffer, 62, pleaded no contest to resisting an officer without violence, a first-degree misdemeanor.

A trial was scheduled to begin next week.

John Albert Kieffer of Hillsborough County does not seem to me to be a clear-headed thinker
