Wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin pleaded no contest yesterday (11/25) to a misdemeanor charge of assault for striking his wife during a June 2002 argument in the couple's San Antonio home. The 37-year-old former WWE star (real name: Steve Williams) was sentenced in County Court to one year probation, fined $1000, ordered to attend a domestic violence counseling course, and directed to perform 80 hours of community service. Along with the sentencing order that you'll find on subsequent pages, TSG has included the below booking photo taken of Austin when he surrendered to authorities in August 2002. Please note that the numerical chart on the wall is apparently metric; Austin is about 6' 3", or 1.93 meters. (3 pages)
