Joshua “Singing Guy” Lovell pleaded no contest on Wednesday Feb. 26 to felony charges that he hit and injured a De Anza College student with his car on Jan. 14 and fled the scene.

Lovell agreed to be sentenced to  five months in county jail and three years on formal probation, according to the current plea deal. The plea could be adjusted at the sentencing hearing April 10.

The victim suffered a broken nose, cuts to the nose and upper lip and abrasions to his shins.

The plea hearing took place at the Santa Clara County Superior Court in Palo Alto.

The original charges filed against Lovell included assault with a deadly weapon, according to the police report, but that charge was dropped before the plea hearing. Lovell could have faced a sentence of up to four years in state prison if convicted.

At the bail hearing on Jan. 17, the court ordered Lovell to participate in anger management and stay off the Foothill and De Anza premises, according to court records.

The court may order Lovell to pay restitution.

His driver’s license may be suspended or revoked at the sentencing.
