Jean Claude Van Damme's son pleads guilty in knife incident

A son of actor Jean-Claude Van Damme has
pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for
holding his roommate at knifepoint at their
apartment in suburban Phoenix.

Nicholas Van Varenberg had a change of plea
hearing Wednesday.
He's now scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 3
and authorities say Van Varenberg likely will
get probation.

Tempe police arrested Van Varenberg last
September on suspicion of aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon, unlawful imprisonment,
marijuana possession and possession of drug
paraphernalia.

Police say Van Varenberg became upset at his
unidentified roommate for answering the door,
grabbed a knife and kept his roommate from
leaving the apartment.

The 22-year-old Van Varenberg is the
youngest son of Van Damme, known for his
martial arts action films of the 1980s and
1990s.
