Pittsburgh police posted video Tuesday showing the January incident outside a bar that led to the arrest of Steelers assistant coach and former player Joey Porter.
Porter was initially charged with assaulting a doorman Jan. 8, but those charges were dropped. A charge of disorderly conduct remained. In a brief altercation, Porter grabbed Officer Paul Abel by the wrists.
In court Tuesday, Porter pleaded guilty to the charge, which defense attorney Robert Del Greco described as "the lowest-grade offense in the crimes code," according to Liz Navratil of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
