Matt Dillon's speed-demon case has puttered out.

The Crash star was nailed in December for allegedly driving 106 mph in a 65-mph zone on Interstate 91 in Newbury, Vt.

Now, he has pleaded guilty to a speeding charge and coughed up an $828 fine to get his case dismissed. In return, prosecutors dropped a second charge of negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

A police report said the actor was cooperative throughout the incident and quoted him as saying, "I screwed up, I know, I know." It also identified Dillon's passenger as fellow actor Fisher Stevens.

Dillon had initially faced a maximum sentence of one year behind bars and a fine of $1,000.
