The actor who played Tony Soprano's bodyguard in the latest season of the HBO television series will dodge a criminal mischief charge in New York if he stays out of trouble for the next six months, his attorney said.
Louis Gross, 23, was arrested in April after a woman claimed that he broke into her home. His lawyer, Samuel Bernstein, said Gross was staying with a friend and got locked out before the "misunderstanding" occurred.
"He didn't steal anything," Bernstein said Friday. "He just got his own stuff, and he's offered to pay for the door."
Under the deal, the case against Gross will be dismissed if he avoids arrest for the next six months, Bernstein said.
