England and Gloucester fly-half Danny Cipriani has been fined £2000 after pleading guilty to common assault and resisting arrest.
The pivot was arrested after a nightclub incident in Jersey in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
He appeared at Jersey Magistrates Court on Thursday and was fined £2000 and ordered to pay £250 in compensation to the police officer he bruised.
Cipriani had two other charges – larceny and acting disorderly on licensed premises – dropped.
Following the verdict, the fly-half tweeted to apologise and give an account of what happened on Wednesday.

Gloucester CEO Stephen Vaughan added: “We are very proud of the culture we have within the group and the stated values which we strive to deliver against. Incidents of this nature are very disappointing to be associated with, and we will deal with it in a robust but balanced way but based purely on the facts.
“As a high profile sportsperson there is often a large degree of public and media scrutiny involved, which Danny is well aware of.
“The incident in question was over in a matter of seconds and was a reaction to the conduct of other parties involved.
“He knows his responsibilities and is aware of the impact of this type of incident on the club. However, Danny is a Gloucester Rugby player and will receive our full support as we focus on the exciting season ahead.”
