"Empire" star Bryshere Y. Gray has pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife and will reportedly serve 10 days in a county jail.

The star was first arrested in Goodyear, Arizona, in July 2020, according to a Facebook post from the local police department.

At the time, police responded to a call about 10:15 p.m. from a woman claiming to have been assaulted by her husband at her Goodyear home. She identified her husband as Gray, now 27.

"She was treated and released for her non life-threatening injuries," read the post. "Goodyear Detectives and Victim’s Advocate continued to assist her after her discharge from the hospital."
