'Pretty Little Liars' actor Brandon Jones has been sentenced to 180 days in jail after he threatened his neighbour with a gun.

The 29-year-old is best known for playing Andrew Campbell - a member of the school's Decathlon team and a love interest to Aria Montgomery - on the hit series.

TMZ has reported that Brandon pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanour assault with a firearm.

In addition to his jail time, he was sentenced to three years’ probation, 30 days of community labour and 26 anger management classes.

According to the Los Angeles County’s District Attorney’s Office, Brandon is said to have pointed a gun at a neighbour and brandished a knife during a separate incident.

The incident occurred back in 2016.

Following his arrest, his rep originally stated that the actor felt "under threat".

"It is our understanding that the gun in Mr. Jones' possession was fully legal and registered, that he was on his girlfriend's private property, and that he and his girlfriend felt that they were under threat in a dispute with neighbours,” the rep said in a statement.
