Van Damme's Son Pleads Guilty in Arizona Knife Incident
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
A son of actor Jean-Claude Van Damme has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for holding his roommate at knifepoint at their apartment in suburban Phoenix.
Nicholas Van Varenberg had a change of plea hearing Wednesday.
He's now scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 3 and authorities say Van Varenberg likely will get probation.
Tempe police arrested Van Varenberg last September on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful imprisonment, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police say Van Varenberg became upset at his unidentified roommate for answering the door, grabbed a knife and kept his roommate from leaving the apartment.
The 22-year-old Van Varenberg is the youngest son of Van Damme.
