Mel Gibson pleads no contest
Posted on August 17th, 2006 in Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson agreed to plea a deal following his drunk driving arrest and avoid spending time in jail. The movie star’s lawyer confirmed that he hashed out a deal with prosecutors for the drunk driving case and now Gibson will be placed on probation for three years.
Gibson will be required to attend a full year of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings as per terms of the deal. He also must pay a fine of 1,200. Mel has volunteered to record a public service announcement on the hazards of driving while drunk and to enter a rehab facility right away.
Gibson had been found to had a blood alcohol level of 0.08 when he was arrested on July 28th after leaving Malibu bar Moonshadows, however the count of driving under the influence was dismissed as was a charge of driving with an open container of alcohol.
