According to court records, a hearing with Judge August Bonavita is scheduled for October 22 on a plea bargain to close the case without having to appear in court. The trial was scheduled to begin on Tuesday, but was canceled on Thursday.

When convicted, Stewart faced a year’s imprisonment, or probation and a $ 1,000 fine. The terms of the deal are still unclear, and lawyer Guy Fronstin did not respond to emails and phone calls for comment.

Stewart and his son were accused of pushing and pushing security guard Jesse Dixon at the luxury hotel The Breakers Hotel on December 31, 2019. He didn’t let them attend the New Year’s Eve party.

Police reported that Dixon told Palm Beach police officers that Stewart’s group was at the check-in table for a private party that was not allowed to attend.

Sean Stewart, now 41, pushed Dixon backwards. Prosecutors claim that Rod Stewart, now 76, hit Dixon with his closed fist in his “left thoracic area.”
