A Yuba County judge reportedly approved the motion so that the child star would have a shot at cleaning up his act. The former actor, 41, was arrested in Marysville, Calif. in January for breaking into a person's garage and gaining entry into their car.
"Officers arrived on scene and contacted the homeowner, who advised he witnessed an unknown male inside his garage that did not belong there," the police statement at the time read.
