Penn pleaded no guilty to vandalism in relation to the incident this year, receiving 300 hours of community service and 36 months' probation. A battery charge was dismissed as part of the plea deal.
The photographer's civil suit claimed that he had incurred a knee injury because of the incident.
It's not known how much Penn paid out as part of the settlement. Penn had faced up to a year and a half in jail with the original charges stemming from the incident.
