Former Premier League footballer Marcus Bent has been given a suspended 12-month prison sentence after admitting affray and possession of cocaine.
He faced charges after an incident in which he was reportedly Tasered by police responding to a break-in at his home in Esher, Surrey, last September.
Bent was also given a two-month curfew and 200 hours of compulsory unpaid work by the judge at Guildford Crown Court.
The 37-year-old striker had previously denied affray but changed his plea.
He had denied two other charges of possessing bladed articles, namely a meat cleaver and a kitchen knife, which will be left on file.
The two-month curfew will prevent him from leaving his home address between 21:00 and 07:00.
