BEIJING, Aug. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- U.S. actor Charlie Sheen was sentenced to accept 30-day-long rehabilitation after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge on Monday, according to reports of people.com.

The “Two and a Half Men” star was also given three months probation and must complete 36 hours of anger management. In exchange, two more serious charges were dropped in a plea bargain.

Sheen was very pleased with the case's outcome. "I'm very grateful to the court and to the people of Pitkin County. I look forward to complying with the court's decision, getting on with my life and putting this behind me," he said.

"Charlie got a great sentence, and I am privileged to have been able to do this for him." Yale Galanter, Sheen's lawyer said.

Sheen was arrested for an alleged assault on his wife Brooke Mueller Sheen during Christmas holiday last year. Mueller, 32, told police her husband had pinned her down and threatened her with a knife.

As reports say, the couple agreed to reconcile earlier this year because of their two sons.

Sheen will go back to work for the new season of his hit sitcom Tuesday.
