But today, the court could decide to let him off the hook.
Vidal Valladares, 24, is scheduled to have his case dismissed after completing the terms of pre-trial diversion.
Man who proposed sentenced
He was charged with obstruction of a highway after he popped the question to Michelle Wycoff on the North Freeway near downtown in December 2015.
One year ago, a judge ordered him to publicly apologize on camera.
Valladares was also ordered to perform 32 hours of community service, pay a $300 fine and had to complete two courses: "Making Better Decisions" and one for defensive driving.
He has been reporting to a probation officer, and was ordered not to do drugs or alcohol over the last year.
