Emile Hirsch reaches deal in studio-exec assault case, pleads guilty to misdemeanor

Emile Hirsch has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault after putting a female studio executive in a chokehold during the Sundance Film Festival in January.

The "Into the Wild" actor appeared in court in Park City, Utah, on Monday and entered his plea after reaching a deal with prosecutors, according to the Associated Press.

Hirsch was sentenced to 15 days in jail, ordered to pay a $4,750 fine and will have to complete 50 hours of community service to get the charge dismissed. The 30-year-old had been charged with aggravated assault in February.

The "Lone Survivor" star was accused of violently attacking Daniele Bernfeld, a vice president for Paramount Pictures' subsidiary Insurge Pictures, putting her in a chokehold at Park City's Tao nightclub on Jan.
