Trey Songz won’t serve any jail time after his arrest for allegedly punching a man at a Times Square nightclub last year.
The singer, born Tremaine Neverson, was sentenced in a New York court on Wednesday to one year of conditional discharge for a non-criminal violation of second-degree harassment, Billboard reports.
That means Songz won’t go to prison as long as he keeps his nose clean for the next year.
Songz was arrested in December over two separate incidents in Manhattan.
In the first, he was charged with harassment and misdemeanour attempted assault after prosecutors claimed he punched a man in the face at the Times Square club DRAMMA.
In the second, he faced a felony count of criminal mischief for allegedly destroying more than $1500 (£1126) worth of hookahs, DJ equipment and sofas at a midtown hookah lounge.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office later agreed to drop the felony count after his lawyer argued that other aggressors were responsible for the damage.
As for the nightclub incident, the Say Aah singer initially pleaded guilty in April to assault and harassment. But after completing mental health treatment and abiding by court-ordered conditions, he was permitted to withdraw the misdemeanour plea and remain convicted only of harassment, a non-criminal violation.
“We are very pleased with this resolution,” Songz’s lawyer told Billboard.
Songz has faced numerous criminal probes over the years for physical violence and sexual assaults, which he denies.
