The Train Ride Is Over


Don Cornelius has been charged with multiple misdemeanors for last month's domestic-violence arrest.

The 72-year-old showbiz vet faces three counts of spousal battery, one count of dissuading a witness from making a police report and one count of assault with a deadly weapon—each charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in county jail.

Dammmmnnnn...old dude off the chains....

Cornelius was sentenced to three years' probation after pleading no contest to one count of corporeal injury resulting in traumatic condition of a spouse stemming from his October arrest.

He was also fined $1,000; ordered to perform 300 hours of community service and complete a 52-week domestic violence treatment program; banned from possessing, owning or using deadly weapons or threatening violence against any person, particularly his wife; and ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the Mulholland estate where the attack took place.

As part of the plea deal, four other misdemeanor charges were dropped.
