Juvenile pleads guilty to first of three charges

Rapper Juvenile pleaded guilty to felony battery over a Miami comedy club incident and was sentenced to community service and a $5,000 donation.

Rapper Juvenile pleaded guilty on Friday after being accused of hitting a man on the head with a champagne bottle and grabbing a police officer.

Juvenile, real name Terius Gray, was sentenced to 75 hours of community service and will be put on unsupervised probation for one year. He was also ordered to donate $5,000 to a local children's charity and pay $782 in court costs. He only pleaded guilty of felony battery - in a pre-trial deal it was agreed that if he pleaded guilty on that charge the original charges of aggravated battery, battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest (which could have come with a considerable prison sentence) would be dropped. The charges related to an incident outside a Miami comedy club last March.

This trial is the first of three for the rapper - he faces a robbery charge from last September and was arrested in New Orleans last month on cocaine possession.
