David Cassidy: Jail Shocker
By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
70’s teen idol David Cassidy star of the hit show The Partridge Family has escaped jail, but has been banned from driving for six months and given community service after he pleaded No Contest to a charge of Drunk Driving.
Cassidy, was sentenced to a year’s probation and ordered to complete 50 hours of community service by a Florida court yesterday, reports the UK’s Daily Mail. David was arrested in St Lucie, Florida, on November 3, 2010 when his car was spotted weaving across the highway. The 60-year-old was asked to complete a roadside test, which he failed. The entertainer was later found to be almost twice over the legal limit after registering a blood alcohol reading of 0.141, the legal Florida limit is 0.08.
Cassidy, who did not appear in court, was also ordered to pay fines amounting to $500 and also to complete an alcohol education classic. He is also required to attend a DUI “Victim Impact Panel, where he will meet people affected by drunk driving incidents.
Drinking and driving seems to be common things these days and from all accounts, Cassidy is very remorseful for his actions. RSR wishes David the best in the future…
