No. That is dead wrong, if that in fact is the basis for charging you with a felony. Do NOT plead to that. Get a lawyer and then get some anger management classes. You may not realize how much a criminal conviction can screw up your life, so don't accept pleading to anything you are not guilty of. Get a lawyer and maybe explore a civil compromise dismissal.
