LOS ANGELES, June 20 (UPI) -- Actor Nicholas Brendon has pleaded no contest to charges in a scuffle with police and was given probation, Los Angeles prosecutors said.

On top of that, TMZ.com said Sunday, Brendon may not drink in public during the 36 months and must attend anger-management class.

The sentence stemmed from a March altercation with Los Angeles police in Venice that ended with him being Tasered and then arrested.

Brendon pleaded guilty Friday to four misdemeanor counts, including vandalism and resisting arrest.
