Rose McGowan has reached a plea deal in a drug case against her, an attorney for the actress told TheWrap on Wednesday.
Attorney Jim Hundley said that McGowan’s plea agreement calls for the actress and activist to plead no contest to a lesser charge of possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor.
McGowan had been charged with felony cocaine possession, according to the Associated Press.
The actress will enter the plea when she appears in court Jan. 15, and it will be recommended by prosecutors that she pay a fine, Hundley said.
“Ms. McGowan has accepted this agreement in order to spare her family, her friends, and her supporters the emotional strain of a criminal trial,” Hundley told TheWrap.
