Into the Wild actor Emile Hirsch pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in Utah on Monday after he was accused of putting a studio executive in a chokehold during the Sundance Film Festival.
As part of his plea, Hirsch was immediately taken into custody and will spend the next 15 days in the Summit County Jail.
Hirsch was arrested on Jan. 25, 2015, when Park City police responded to an assault call at TAO nightclub. According to the police report, Daniele Bernfeld ? who has been called one of Hollywood?s top film executives under 35 ? told officers she had been assaulted by Hirsch at the club.
