Mischa
Barton Pleads Guilty to Drunk Driving 4/11/08
Actress Mischa Barton has been sentenced to three years unsupervised
probation after pleading no contest to drunk driving.
The former The O.C. star was charged with DUI, possession of marijuana
and driving without a license in February (08), following an arrest in
West Hollywood in December (07).
Barton accepted a plea deal by admitting the DUI offence in return for
prosecutors dropping the marijuana charge and reducing the driving without
a license charge to an infraction.
On Thursday (10Apr08), a Beverly Hills, California judge sentenced the
22-year-old to three years unsupervised probation and ruled she must
complete a three-month alcohol-education class and pay a fine of
approximately $2,000.
