IDENTITY NOTE: This docket (case 1:21-mj-495, arrested 7/26/21, sentenced 3/8/22 to 18 months' probation and a $1,500 fine) matches John Schubert of Crest Hill, Illinois, charged alongside his wife Amy. A different man, John Anthony Schubert III of Bradenton, Florida, faced a separate and later case — the two should not be confused.
