Former Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías pleads no contest to misdemeanor domestic battery charge
Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías has pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor domestic battery
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor domestic battery on Wednesday.
According to court records, four other misdemeanor charges against Urías were dropped. Urias had also been facing one count of spousal battery, one count of domestic battery involving a dating relationship, one count of false imprisonment and one count of assault. All the charges stemmed from his arrest in September on suspicion of domestic violence.
Los Angeles City Attorney's office spokesman Ivor Pine said Urías was placed on 36 months of summary probation and ordered to complete 30 days of community labor. Urías must also complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling course, pay a domestic violence fund fee, not possess any weapons, not use any force or violence, pay restitution to the victim and abide by a protective order.
Blair Berk, an attorney for Urias, didn’t immediately respond to a call and email seeking comment on the case Thursday.
