In exchange for the plea, Slater - who's charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing - will likely avoid any jail time.

Slater was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and therefore is eligible for an alternative sentencing program, such as treatment or community service, or both.

As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, Slater made international news on August 9 when he got on the plane's loudspeaker, cursed at passengers, then slid down the plane's emergency chute with a beer.
