A Kumasi Circuit Court presided over by Justice Ekow Mensah has fined the 13 Delta Force members 200 penalty units, which translates into GHc2,400 or spend three years in prison.
They are also to sign a bond of good behavior.
The 13 Delta Force members were facing charges of conspiracy to assault for raiding the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council and assaulting the Regional Security coordinator.
They were last week freed by some members of the vigilante group, who were displeased because the presiding judge remanded the 13 in prison custody.
About eight of those who caused the confusion at the court were arrested, while the 13 fugitives subsequently turned themselves into the police.
Lawyer for the 13 Delta Force members, Gary Nimako Marfo, pleaded guilty to the offense of escaping or permitting themselves to be rescued from lawful custody.
Gary Nimako further pleaded that, the 13 are first time offenders, and that they voluntarily reported themselves to the police later that day.
