In case you wanted to know, here's an update on Jack White.

White Stripes Lead Singer Pleads Guilty Condensed and abridged

DETROIT (AP) -- ...

White was accused of repeatedly punching Von Bondies lead singer Jason Stollsteimer and originally was charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault. He could have faced up to a year in jail, but will avoid jail time under the plea deal.

White must pay a $500 fine, plus $250 in court fees, and Judge Paula G. Humphries ordered him to attend anger management classes.
She also told him not to contact Stollsteimer.

The Dec. 13 fight between White and Stollsteimer began shortly before midnight...


Stollsteimer,
of Detroit,
told police that White
punched him
7
times in the face--

--Police said Stollsteimer's right

eye was bruised and swollen,
and he was bleeding
from the nose.

He was taken the hospital,
where he was treated
and released...


In court Tuesday, White gave his account of what led to the fight--

I went up to
him
to say it to me
face to face--

Stollsteimer ignored
me
I spat at him
we
started fighting.

Stollsteimer landed on my hand,
--(which White had recently injured in a car accident
in July)--
I then punched Stollsteimer
in the face
a couple of times
--with the same "injured" hand
Stollsteimer "landed" on.
***
Outside the courtroom,
White told reporters
he regretted the incident--
White's lawyer
said White
had put the incident
behind him...
until he was threatened
with Celebrity Jail Time--
