One of two men accused of throwing cream pies at nationally syndicated columnist Ann Coulter last year pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault Friday.
Phillip Edgar Smith agreed to pay $915 in restitution for damage caused to a backdrop screen that was hit by one of the pies, said deputy Pima County Attorney Noah Van Amburg.
According to police, Smith and William Zachary Wolff, both 25, threw the tofu cream pies at Coulter as she spoke before a crowd of 2,500 people at the University of Arizona's Centennial Hall on Oct. 22, 2004. They missed Coulter, but splattered a black muslin backdrop.
A change-of-plea hearing is scheduled in Wolff's case for Nov. 30.

The best part is that the pies were made from tofu.
