As previously reported by the Associated Press, Uzomah pleaded guilty last month to three misdemeanors: assault, battery and possession of a switchblade knife, stemming from another incident involving Seacrest.
Police arrested Uzomah in September after he tried to enter Seacrest's vehicle as the TV host and radio DJ left a charity appearance at Children's Hospital of Orange County.

After pleading guilty to the three counts, Uzomah was sentenced to 15 days in jail, three years probation and ordered to stay away from Seacrest.
