50 Cent will likely avoid jail time for allegedly trampling two women and punching a third during a concert last year, under a deal reached last week with prosecutors in Springfield, Mass.
If the entertainer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, stays drug-free for two years and follows other orders laid out by a judge, the charges will be dropped. Jackson, who lives in Farmington, Conn., had been charged with three counts of assault and battery.
The incident occurred during a surprise concert at Springfield’s Hippodrome club last May, in which Jackson allegedly jumped into a crowd after someone threw or squirted water at him.
