(AP) -- No one was injured in the March incident in Taney County, Mo.

Prosecuting attorney Jeff Merrill told The (Springfield) State Journal-Register on Wednesday that Cliff Buscher pleaded guilty on Monday to disturbing the peace.

Buscher must pay a $500 fine, serve two years probation, perform 100 hours of community service and undergo a substance abuse evaluation.

A Springfield Police Department spokesman says the 19-year veteran is on paid leave pending a review by the department's internal affairs division.

Buscher's attorney declined to comment.
