April 29, 2008 Celebrities, Entertainment, Music, TheBuzz
Rock star Scott Weiland has just been sentenced to 192 hours in county jail for his November DUI arrest. This is Weiland’s second DUI offense. He has until May 28 to serve the sentence.
Scott, who was not present in court today, entered a no contest plea through his attorney, Anthony Brooklier. The former Velvet Revolver singer was also ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol program and pay almost $2,000 in fines. He will be put on a four-year summary probation.
Weiland was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol with a prior conviction, and with an allegation that he refused a chemical test as required by law. We are told he was over the legal limit of .08%, but not by much.
He failed the field sobriety tests and refused to take a blood or urine test. He was booked for DUI and released on $40,000 bail.
Another celebrity that has been in and out of rehab with no degree of improvement. What can help these people get out of their vicious cycles of troubles. Are they not getting of time behind bars to think, probably not with plush cells and all the amenities they usually receive.
