The 20-year-old intruder who was placed under citizen’s arrest by disgraced vlogger Logan Paul has been sentenced to 30 days in jail.
The man, who has not been identified, struck a plea deal when he appeared in court on Thursday and entered a no contest plea for aggravated trespass, according to TMZ.
He was sentenced to 30 days behind bars and 24 months probation, the L.A. City Attorney’s Office told TMZ. He was also ordered to stay away from Paul’s block.
Paul, 22, performed the arrest after returning to his San Fernando Valley home at around 10pm Tuesday, where he discovered the man sitting on his couch charging his phone.

Police were notified and the man was booked for criminal trespass.
The man had reportedly wanted to meet the YouTube star, law enforcement told the website.
Several people were upstairs at the time the intruder entered the home through an unlocked front door.
However, the individuals inside the property thought they had heard Paul entering the residence.
Paul has taken a three week hiatus after being universally slammed for picturing a suicide victim and laughing as they hung from a tree in Japan last year.
Paul was universally slammed for uploading a video on New Year’s Eve from Japan’s ‘suicide forest’ where he and his friends had gone camping. They stumbled upon a victim hanging from a tree and kept rolling afterwards, even zooming in on his body

On December 31, he uploading footage of the victim hanging from a tree in a forest.
Paul and his friends had gone to spend the night in the forest and giggled as they told viewers that it was ‘haunted’ by the souls of the thousands who take their lives there.
They came across the man by accident but continued rolling and zoomed in on his dead body as Paul shouted: ‘Are you f****** with us bro?’ before calling police.
He was widely condemned and took the footage down not long after it was posted, later posting a grovelling Twitter apology before signing off.
After a three-week hiatus, he returned to the spotlight at the end of January to donate $1million to suicide prevention charities and appeared in a video with suicide survivors who he interviewed to try to educate himself on the issue
He dedicated his first video back to suicide prevention and pledged $1million to charities which support the issue.
But on Friday, YouTube suspended ads on his channels citing the troubled star’s ‘recent pattern of behavior’.
The decision from YouTube came just days after he tweeted Monday that he would swallow a Tide Pod for every retweet. That same day he tasered two dead rats and removed a live fish from water and ‘performed CPR’ on it.
‘In response to Logan Paul’s recent pattern of behaviour,’ YouTube tweeted on Friday, ‘we’ve temporarily suspended ads on his channels.’
Logan Paul yet again sparked controversy with a ouTube video which shows him tasering two dead rats on the balcony of his bedroom at his $6.55million Encino home. He is shown with two assistants as he administers the electric currents
YouTube suspended his advertisers over video or him tasting dead rats, doing ‘CPR’ on a fish and suggesting eating Tide Pods

‘Recent pattern of behavior’: Paul kept up dangerous antics despite just coming off a hiatus for showing a suicide victim’s body
A spokeswoman said: ‘This is not a decision we made lightly, however, we believe he has exhibited a pattern of behaviour in his videos that makes his channel not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community.’
According to the website Social Blade, which estimates influencers’ earnings from their online statistics, Paul may have earned at least $43,000 from ad revenue on YouTube in the last month alone, despite taking the break.
