US Actor Charlie Sheen is facing a 30 day jail sentence for assaulting his wife in Aspen, Colorado last year.
Following an argument on Christmas Day, Brooke Mueller Sheen alleged her husband had held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her.
Sheen pleaded not guilty to menacing, misdemeanour assault and criminal mischief earlier this year, but will reportedly now enter a plea of no contest.
Having reached a deal with Colorado authorities Sheen will seek a 30 day sentence.
Brooke is Sheen's third wife, having divorced actress Denise Richards acrimoniously in 2006.
After taking a hiatus from hit sitcom Two and a Half Men in order to enter rehab, Sheen is now due to return to the show, for which he was named US TV's highest paid star in 2008.
