Durst pleads no contest to assaults

Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst has pleaded no contest to seven misdemeanours, including assault, battery and reckless driving, for deliberately hitting two people with his car.

William Fred Durst, 37, entered the pleas on August 16 and was handed a suspended 120-day jail sentence, ordered to perform 20 hours of community service and fined $1,500, according to Superior Court documents.

The documents, first obtained by CelebTV.com, also show Durst was slapped with a restraining order saying he cannot “annoy, harass, strike, threaten or otherwise disturb the peace” of the two victims, whose names were not disclosed.

Durst must stay at least 100 yards away from the victims and he cannot possess a firearm.

Durst allegedly hit the two Los Angeles residents with his vehicle on October 26, 2006, according to the documents.

Misdemeanour charges filed in January included two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, three counts of battery, one count of making a criminal threat and one count of reckless driving.

There were no details about the incident.
