Justice League actor Ezra Miller has pleaded guilty to a charge stemming from a break-in and theft of alcohol at a neighbour's home in the US state of Vermont.
Miller, who stars in the upcoming film The Flash, agreed that by entering the plea, they would avoid a three-month jail sentence for a charge of unlawful trespass, but pay a $US500 ($716) fine and get a year of probation.
The actor must also abide by a number of conditions, including continued mental health treatment.
Two other charges were dropped, including a felony burglary count that could have carried a sentence of 25 years in prison.
The case followed a string of arrests and reports of erratic behaviour from Miller last year that stretched from Hawaii to New England.
Vermont Superior Court Judge Kerry Ann McDonald-Cady told Miller the felony charge could be refiled if they failed to abide by the details of probation..
During the nearly 30-minute hearing in Bennington, 30-year-old Miller answered the judge's questions, but declined to make a statement.
However, after the hearing, Miller's attorney, Lisa Shelkrot, sent a statement on the actor's behalf.
"Ezra would like to thank the court and the community for their trust and patience throughout this process, and would once again like to acknowledge the love and support they have received from their family and friends, who continue to be a vital presence in their ongoing mental health," the statement said.
Miller pleaded not guilty in October to stealing liquor from a neighbour's home in Vermont.
State police responded to a burglary complaint in Stamford on May 1 and found that several bottles of alcohol had been taken while the home-owner was away.
The home-owner said he had been friends with Miller for about 18 years and bought the home a year and half ago in Stamford, where Miller also had a home, according to the police affidavit.
Miller was charged after police consulted surveillance footage and interviewed witnesses.
Miller was arrested twice last year in Hawaii, including for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar.
