After taking a plea deal in an assault case involving his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Byrd and fellow rapper SAINt JHN, Lil Uzi Vert might be getting away with some time behind the bars.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirms Lil Uzi Vert pleaded no contest in court to one count each of felony assault with a firearm and misdemeanour injury to a girlfriend.
According to a report by TMZ, he was sentenced to 3 years of formal probation, 1 year of treatment for mental health and substance abuse, 52 weeks of domestic violence counselling, restitution and a 10-year criminal protective order.
Lil Uzi Vert copped the plea deal after prosecutors charged him with 3 felonies; assault with a firearm, criminal threats and domestic violence, plus a misdemeanour charge of carrying a loaded firearm.
Brittany Byrd, filed a police report back in July claiming Uzi put a gun to her stomach and then hit her.
From an earlier report, sources said Uzi threw a punch at JHN but missed causing Uzi to fall down as his gun fell out as well. Brittany got up from the table and approached Uzi and he allegedly hit her and pushed the firearm into her stomach.
Prosecutors followed through with criminal charges and Lil Uzi copped a plea.
