"Ray Donovan" star Marion "Pooch" Hall won't be going to prison after striking a plea deal with prosecutors regarding his DUI and child endangerment charges.
Hall, 42, pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of driving with a blood alcohol content over .08 percent and child endangerment, the Los Angeles County District Attorney told ET on Tuesday.

Additionally, his driver’s license has been suspended for six months.
Hall was arrested by police officers in Burbank, California, back in October for driving under the influence of alcohol and getting into a collision while his 2-year-old son, Djulian, was riding in the car unrestrained.

Hall ultimately collided with a parked vehicle and was detained at the scene. Authorities said there were no injuries as a result of the collision and Djulian was released to the care of his mother, Linda Hall, with whom the actor shares three other children -- daughters Djanai, 22, and Djaeda, 15, and son Djordan, 12.
