William Levy is taking action two months after his arrest.
The Cuban-American actor, 44, has been accepted into a misdemeanor diversion program following his arrest on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing earlier this year in Florida's Broward County, according to court records reviewed by PEOPLE.
A judge deemed Levy's acceptance on June 30 and noted that he is expected to complete the program by Sept. 29.
According to a description on the Broward County State Attorney's Office's website, the misdemeanor diversion program allows first-time offenders "an opportunity to immediately accept responsibility for their actions, seek rehabilitation, and divert their cases from the criminal court system."
PEOPLE has reached out to Levy's attorney for comment.

The actress, 46, confirmed their split in an April 2024 interview with HOLA! amid swirling rumors and headlines about the status of their relationship.
"I loved William, I think it's no secret that he was the love of my life," she said at the time.
"Currently, we are not together. On my part, it was never for lack of love," Gutiérrez explained. "I think I'm not the same girl I was 20 years ago when he met me. What we want at this moment is different. I will always love him, I will always wish him the best, and as I have always said, being with me or not, I want to see him happy."
The couple met on the reality show Protagonistas de novela 2 in 2003 and married the same year, going on to welcome two children together.
