'Criminal Minds' Star Thomas Gibson Skates on DUI Charges ... After Crazy L.A. Arrest
Thomas Gibson Cops Plea Deal ... After Crazy DUI Arrest
"Criminal Minds" star Thomas Gibson has struck a plea deal in his DUI arrest ... when it took FIVE cops to wrestle him to the ground -- TMZ has learned.
We broke the story ... Gibson was popped by cops earlier this month on suspicion of DUI -- when cops say he drunkenly tried to drive his Audi SUV through a part of Downtown L.A. that was sectioned off for a half-marathon.
But today, Gibson pled "no contest" to one count of alcohol-related reckless driving -- and in exchange, prosecutors dropped the DUI counts.
The night of Gibson's arrest, multiple officers took him down while he screamed, "I am not resisting ... I am not resisting."
Under the plea deal, Gibson was sentenced to 36 months probation, $300 in court fees and one year of alcohol education classes.
