Actor Jason London Gets Plea Deal In Pants-Crapping Arrest
"Dazed and Confused" actor Jason London won't have to serve any jail time related to the epic night he took a dump in the back of a cop car.London, 40, had originally been charged with assault the night he got into a drunken brawl with a bouncer at a Scottsdale bar but he plead guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, according to TMZ.
London was found nursing a shiner outside a bar called Martini Ranch around 1:45 a.m. in January. The police report said he got into a fight bouncer after sneezing on him, refusing to apologize and punching the bouncer in the face. From the looks of it, London lost that fight badly.
London's rep called the bouncer's response a "brutal attack" that he says "continued even after he was unconscious." London had to get multiple surgeries to deal with the multiple fractures to his face.
When cops picked him up for his drunken antics, they say he called one officer a "fucking hillbilly." One of them kneed him in the thigh. Once London was loaded into the back of the cop car, police say he dumped his own load—on purpose.
As a part of his sentence, London is being ordered to attend an alcohol treatment program and pay out $118 in court costs, TMZ says.
