Hip-Hop veteran and reality TV star Flavor Flav has pleaded guilty to reduced charges of domestic violence for threatening the 17-year-old son of his current girlfriend.
The 55-year-old rapper acknowledged Monday in court that he wielded a kitchen knife during an October 2012 argument with the teen, and has accepted misdemeanor charges of attempted battery that could have substantially injured and battery constituting domestic violence.
These charges were reduced from felony assault and child endangerment with a weapon, which could have gotten him up to 12 years. Flav is now looking to avoid a trial and jail time altogether.
