AN actor from The Sandlot has been sentenced to time served after he was seen on video hurling a 35-pound dumbbell at a car and pulling a knife outside a neighbor’s home.
Thomas Guiry, who played Scotty Smalls in the 1993 film, threw a dumbbell through the windshield of his neighbor’s Jeep and then proceeded to threaten him with a knife.
The violent dispute with his neighbor unfolded in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on June 2.
On Monday, Guiry pleaded guilty to assault and battery, disorderly conduct, and malicious damage.
He was ordered to pay a $757 fine and was given credit for time served in jail following his arrest.
During the court hearing, the victims told the court about the “two hours of chaos” that led to the arrest.
The victim came outside and was shocked to see the glass windshield of his car shattered, according to police.
However, the child star didn’t appear to care and began walking back to his house.
As he left, he replied, “That sucks man, I’ll pay you back, I’m sorry, I’m gonna get you back,” according to local NBC affiliate WMBF.
The actor then appeared at his neighbor’s house again, but this time with a knife in his hand.
Surveillance footage showed him holding the knife up near his head as he approached his neighbor’s front door.
One victim recalled how he managed to follow her inside the home with the weapon.
Her husband confronted the actor while he was in the garage.
The neighbors told the court they called 911 three times on Guiry.
When the cops finally came, they saw Guiry standing in the middle of the road, where he was asking about the safety of his neighbor’s wife.
He was arrested at the scene after admitting he caused the damage to the Jeep.
This was a shock to many as Guiry was mainly known for Playing Scott Smalls in the coming-of-age movie, “The Sandlot.”
The actor played the new kid who struggled to make friends in his neighborhood. However, everything changed when he met Benny Rodriguez, who taught him how to play baseball.
DANGEROUS PAST
This is not Guiry’s only run-in with the law.
In 2013, the actor was arrested after headbutting a police officer during a drunken dispute at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, according to TMZ.
Things went awry for Guiry after he was flagged by United Airlines for being too drunk to fly, according to Houston police spokesman Victor Senties.
At first, authorities offered to take Guiry to a sober center, where he could stay for a few hours and leave without any charges being filed.
“At that point, he [Guiry] gets agitated and makes repeated threats against the sergeant,” Senties said.
The sergeant decided to arrest the Gury for public intoxication, which infuriated the actor.
He then proceeded to allegedly headbutt the cop.
“He’s fine but he did suffer a laceration to the head,” Senties said.
Guiry was booked for assault, causing bodily injury to a public servant.
