TMZ.com reports Springfield himself wasn’t present for the proceeding at the Malibu, Calif., courtroom, but his attorney pleaded on the star’s behalf to a lesser offense, a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving, “with driving under the influence conditions.”

As a condition of his plea, Springfield will avoid jail, but must attend an alcohol education program, and will be considered on informal probation for three years.
