The son of former NFL head coach Mike Ditka was ordered by a court to attend anger management classes thanks to an altercation with a fellow casino patron in July.
The younger Ditka, who shares his father’s name, pleaded guilty Friday to disorderly conduct after originally being charged with battery, according to a report from The Chicago Tribune.
The altercation happened at the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, Ill. after a gambler asked Ditka for some money, his attorney reportedly told the court.
In addition to the court-ordered classes, Ditka received 12 months of supervision and a fine of $364. He also was ordered not to have any unlawful contact with the victim.
Ditka pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery in 1998.
