San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor false imprisonment charge in connection with the domestic violence case involving his wife.
Mirkarimi, 50, appeared in court after agreeing to the plea deal with prosecutors, who dropped three other misdemeanor charges related to a Dec. 31 incident in which he allegedly grabbed and bruised the arm of his wife, Eliana Lopez, during an argument.
He will be sentenced on March 19 to three years’ probation, 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling, 100 hours of community service, parenting classes, and will have to pay various fines and fees, prosecutors said.
