Former K.C. Undercover actor Chris Tavarez will be spending time behind bars after accepting a plea deal for domestic violence.
Tavarez pled no contest one count of felony domestic violence with a prior conviction, according to TMZ.

Tavarez was charged, back in November, by the Los Angeles District Attorney over an alleged violent incident with his girlfriend leaving her with a concussion.
The City Attorney’s Office told TMZ that the ‘prior conviction’ folded into his new charge stemmed from a 2017 incident where he was charged with two counts of spousal battery.
‘He pled no contest to one count, and had to serve 180 days in jail, complete a 52-week Domestic Violence Treatment Program, pay a fine and was ordered to stay away from the victim,’ the outlet reported.

The second count was dismissed and he was placed on ’36 months summary probation.’
A few weeks back, Tavarez was arrested several days after an incident where he lashed out at his girlfriend, pushing her so hard she fell and hit her head. The woman’s injuries resulted in a concussion.
Police insiders told TMZ at the time that Chris and the woman were in Hollywood when they got into a dispute which quickly escalated towards being physical.
Cops were called to the home after the incident, but by the time they arrived Tavarez had fled the scene already.
