This Baywatch Star is in some trouble.

Alum Jeremy Jackson has been sentenced to jail and five years probation as part of a plea he took after he stabbed a woman in a 2015 incident in Los Angeles, TMZ reports.

The 36-year-old was sentenced to 270 days in the L.A. County jail, but he will only spend 161 days behind bars because the judge gave him a 109-day credit. Without the deal, the star could’ve faced up to 7 years in jail.

Jackson is also required to complete weekly anger management classes for a year, as well as weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings while staying sober. If he finishes all the requirements, the felony charge could drop to a misdemeanor.

The actor was arrested after he got into a heated argument with an unidentified woman near her home. She claimed he stabbed her in the back, arm and leg before running off to a nearby hotel.

Strangely, Jackson was previously arrested just a few months prior to that for allegedly stabbing a man. He wasn’t charged for that incident, claiming that he did it in self-defense.
