Drummer Deen Castronovo from the rock group Journey has been sentenced to 80 hours of community service and ordered to attend anger-management classes for a domestic violence dispute.

The 47-year-old was arrested on January 20 after a dispute with a woman and charged with recklessly endangering another person, interfering with making a police report, criminal mischief and harassment.

It's understood a concerned neighbour called police after hearing the pair fighting.

Citing court documents in reporting the sentence, The Statesman Journal newspaper said the woman told police that Castronovo had accused her of cheating and they had broken up.
