Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has agreed to compensate the
Beverly Hills police to avoided the prospect of a jail sentence in the
United States.
Lukaku had been arrested in July after police responded to five noise complaints at the house he was renting.
The Belgian will pay $450 (£340) to reimburse police for the callouts.
That will mean the charge is reduced from a misdemeanour, which carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail.
Instead, Lukaku will be charged with a disturbance of the peace infraction, which carries a $100 (£76) fine plus other costs and penalties.
The incident happened a week before he joined Manchester United.
