Clark James Gable, of Canoga Park, pleaded guilty to one felony count of discharge of a laser at an occupied aircraft.
Gable is expected to receive 10 days of jail time and 200 hours on a CalTrans work crew at his sentencing January 12.
The 23-year old was arrested July 28 on suspicion of pointing a laser at an LAPD helicopter when he claims he tried to point a laser at the Hollywood sign while driving around with friends but missed.
Officers say the light briefly obstructed the vision of the two officers inside the helicopter.
Ground units were called and the light was tracked to a small red car that LAPD officers pulled over at Franklin and Highland.
The driver and Gable were arrested and taken into custody.
Gable was released the following day.
Prosecutors did not file charges against the driver, 23-year-old Maximilian Anderson, because police say there was insufficient evidence to indicate that the driver was aware that the laser was being pointed at the aircraft.
This isn't the first time Gable, an aspiring reality star, has found himself in trouble.
In 2009, he was stabbed during a house party in Calabasas.
He claimed he was trying to help his friend when he was stabbed in the upper torso by another party-goer.
