Fired HBO Chief Pleads No Contest After Choking Girlfriend Outside Vegas Hotel

Ex-HBO chief executive Chris Albrecht settled a criminal domestic violence charge Friday, pleading no contest to battery and agreeing to pay a $1,000 fine.

Albrecht lost his job after he was arrested early Sunday outside the MGM Grand hotel-casino, where police reported seeing him "grabbing a white female by the throat with both hands." The incident occurred after the title fight between boxers Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr., which HBO telecast on a pay-per-view basis.
