Abel XO avoids jail time after recent plea deal!
If you remember, The Weeknd was arrested last January for punching a Las Vegas cop during a scuffle. Before he gained critical acclaim this year for the recently released Beauty Behind the Madness album, the Toronto singer-songwriter had to await his fate for the last 10 months after the Cromwell Hotel fight. Earlier today, Abel entered a plea deal in a Vegas court to avoid jail time.
However, the X.O. singer won’t be getting off easy, as he’s been ordered to pay $1,000 to a local injured cop fund, complete 50 hours of community service – as well as anger management and an alcohol evaluation. The case is set to be dismissed if he meets all of the listed requirements and stays out of trouble. We’ll keep you posted if anything changes regarding his plans.
