He can relax.
In the old days, one might worry about being so lax.
These days, no worries, he's in, he would have commit acts of terrorism before the authorities would even look sideways at him.

He might be ok but it wouldn't hurt to discuss with an immigration lawyer. Can the court fines be paid off?

OP, despite what you've been told, your boyfriend's residency might actually be in serious jeopardy.
Some crimes automatically trigger deportation proceedings. Some don't. Some don't, but can still make the alien inadmissible (just not deportable). 3 minor crimes can carry the same risk of deportation as a felony.
There's a handy page here which explains things quite well.

Basically, it's a very complex subject and I believe the best thing you can do for your boyfriend is encourage him to find an immigration attorney asap.
