SIOUX FALLS , S.D., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- British actor and former professional soccer player Vinnie Jones has pleaded not guilty to assault charges stemming from a bar brawl in South Dakota, TMZ said.

Jones is accused of assaulting a fellow patron at Wiley's Tavern in Sioux Falls Dec. 5, reportedly after he was hit in the face with a beer mug.

The "Snatch" and "X-Men: The Last Stand" star could face up to a year in jail if convicted, TMZ said Tuesday.
