A total of 10 original charges against him have been dropped as part of the plea bargain, according to TMZ. “With each and every one of the 10 original charges now dismissed by operation of law, Trey looks forward to putting this matter behind him,” said Trey’s attorney, Mitchell Schuster, according to TMZ.

Prosecutors agreed to dismiss original charges, including assault and aggravated harassment as part of the deal.
Songz has agreed to complete 12 anger management classes by August, and sources close to the matter said he has already started those sessions in good faith, effectively giving himself a head-start, according to TMZ.
Songz was accused of punching a woman in the face repeatedly inside a New York bowling alley bathroom in October. The artist was also accused of dragging the woman by her hair during the physical altercation, according to TMZ.

“We appreciate the New York law enforcement and the District Attorney’s office for their comprehensive investigation and careful consideration of all evidence, which ultimately confirmed what we had known all along and resulted in the District Attorney’s office choosing not to pursue any of the original charges against our client,” Schuster said.
