Laurence Fishburne’s Daughter Montana Sentenced To 2 Years Probation After 2022 Arrest For Allegedly Slapping A Police Officer

Laurence Fishburne’s daughter Montana Fishburne has been sentenced after she was arrested and charged in 2022 for battery on a police officer in Florida.

Montana Fishburne, 32, received 24 months of probation after pleading no contest to the felony earlier this month. She first pleaded not guilty. Montana Fishburne also has to complete a 13-week anger management program, according to Us Weekly.

Her attorney Michael Grieco said of her plea,

“There is no admission of guilt and no conviction and the case will be sealed and put in the rearview. And young Ms. Fishburne will be able to move on with her life.”

On the day of her arrest in January 2022, Montana called the police claiming that a former boyfriend was stalking and threatening her. Once cops got there, Montana was allegedly the only person present.

She was also arrested for a DUI in Florida in 2020, before getting released on bond. theJasmineBRAND exclusively reported at the time that she pleaded not guilty.

In her personal life, Montana has famously starred in adult films. She said back in 2010 that she knew it was something she wanted to do since she was a teenager.

She added,

“I absolutely didn’t make this movie to hurt my parents or bring shame to my family name. This was something that I wanted to do and I think that, in time, my father will support me in my decision.”

She noted that her mother, Laurence Fishburne’s ex-wife and actress Hajna O. Moss has been a source of support.

“[My mom] just tells me that she loves me and that whatever decisions that I make, she wants me to be sure about it. And I am.”
