LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles judge Wednesday sentenced Dominic Bando to five years in prison for assaulting "Stargate Atlantis" actor Jason Momoa, officials said.

Momoa needed 140 stitches after Bando hit him in the face with a pint beer glass that shattered during an altercation at the Bird Cafe in Los Angeles last year.

The Los Angeles Times said Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Judith Champagne sentenced Bando to the five-year state prison term Wednesday and scheduled a restitution hearing for next month.

Bando pleaded no contest to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
