(CBS/AP) Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller has pleaded guilty to a reduced cocaine drug charge. According to the plea deal, after she serves a year of probation, her record will remain clean.

Court documents show Mueller appeared in district court in Aspen to plead guilty to felony drug possession of four grams or less. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop the more serious charge of possession with intent to distribute, as well as a misdemeanor third-degree assault charge.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 7.

Charges stemmed from Mueller's arrest Dec. 3 following a woman reporting being assaulting at a nightclub.

Sheen and Mueller divorced last year after Sheen was arrested on suspicion of assaulting her in 2009. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and completed his probation in 2010.
