UPDATE: Alec Baldwin<\/strong>\u00a0pleaded guilty on Wednesday to harassment in the second degree, stemming from his November arrest following an alleged altercation over a parking spot.\u00a0According to the\u00a0Manhattan\u00a0District Attorney, the actor must participate in a an anger management class as part of his plea.<\/p>\n

“1- At the Criminal Court bldg on Centre Street, I pled guilty to a charge of harassment, a violation,” Baldwin tweeted<\/a>. “In that bldg today there are 3 murder trials scheduled, one involving a white supremacist who killed someone in Times Square. All the press was outside the courtroom I was in.”<\/p>\n

“2- the press reported that I punched someone,” he continued<\/a>. “That is untrue, and that is a serious charge. A man was punched in NY recently and died. 3- nothing that resembles justice ever enters or leaves any courtroom<\/a>\u00a0in this country. 4- The vermin at Fox News continues to tell a story about ‘an alleged punch.’ There are three cameras in front of my bldg. It didn’t happen<\/a>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alec Baldwin<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was arrested in November\u00a0following an alleged altercation over a parking spot. Later that month, he\u00a0was charged with attempted assault and harassment charges, which were deemed misdemeanor and violation-level charges, respectively. Per the AP (via USA Today<\/a>), Baldwin had originally been arrested for\u00a0assault and harassment; however prosecutors downgraded the charges.<\/p>\n

Per NBC News<\/a>, Baldwin’s attorney said at the time that video evidence would prove the actor didn’t do anything wrong during the arraignment. Deadline<\/a>\u00a0also reported the actor didn’t enter a plea or say anything during his court appearance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to NBC News,\u00a0the\u00a0hearing lasted less than a minute, and Baldwin was released on his own recognizance.<\/p>\n

The New York Police Department had previously told E! News the actor\u00a0had been held in custody for several hours after allegedly punching a man over a parking spot. According to the authorities, the alleged altercation happened at 1:30 p.m. EST at\u00a0W 10th Street\u00a0between University and Broadway.\u00a0According to WNBC<\/a>, the victim was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital after complaining of pain.<\/p>\n

Per the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information, the It’s Complicated<\/em> star was charged with assault and harassment and was given a desk appearance ticket. His court date is scheduled for later this month.<\/p>\n

Following the arrest, Baldwin tweeted<\/a>, “Normally, I would not comment on something as egregiously misstated as today’s story. However, the assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false. I wanted to go on the record stating as much. I realize that it has become a sport to tag people [with] as many negative charges and defaming allegations as possible for the purposes of clickbait entertainment. Fortunately, no matter how reverberating the echoes, it doesn’t make the statements true.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
