Pierce County's most notorious 11-year-old has pleaded guilty to lying to police about an apartment break-in in July in Tacoma.
Semaj Booker was sentenced Tuesday to the 26 days in juvenile detention he's already served. Superior Court Judge Frank Cuthbertson also ordered Semaj to perform four hours of community service and write a letter of apology to Tacoma police.
Semaj is still in trouble. Prosecutors plan to ask another judge to revoke the deferred sentenced the boy received last year after pleading guilty to car theft.
Semaj is best known for talking his way onto two airplane flights when he was 9 years old and making it to Texas before he was caught.
