According to The Independent, the 'Babe' star was sentenced to a week in Orange County Jail after he refused to pay the 375 USD fine.
The file is related to his role in a protest in New York.
Cromwell, who starred as Farmer Hoggett in the 1995 adaptation of Dick King Smith's book 'Babe,' was one of six environmental protestors found guilty of obstructing traffic when they staged a sit-in on the site of Competitive Power Ventures' prospective natural gas-fired power plant.

Following an appeal, all the three defendants can now pay the fine till July 14.
