Mel pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge of drunk driving and was sentenced to probation with a requirement that he spend the next year in an alcoholism rehabilitation program. He was also fined $1,300 and with additional court fees brought his total to $1,568 dollars. His license is restricted for 90 days.
Judge Lawrence J. Mira noted approvingly that Mel had offered to make a public service message for broadcast, warning against the dangers of driving while impaired. The judge also noted that Mel had already engaged in an “extensive’’ amount of rehabilitation.
As part of the sentence, Mel is required to attend a 12-step program five times a week for the next 4 ½ months, and to continue attending three days a week for the rest of the year.
