Actor John Stamos on Tuesday pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor
charge of driving in Beverly Hills, California, under the influence of a
drug. He was, subsequently, sentenced to three years’ probation, the
Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said.
Stamos, 52, was also ordered by Los Angeles County Superior Court to
complete a three-month alcohol abuse programme, attend 52 Alcoholics
Anonymous meetings. The actor is to also take two hours of addiction
counseling, District Attorney’s Office spokesman, Ricardo Santiago,
said.
The court also ordered alcohol recovery programmes in cases of
substance abuse. The actor was arrested on June 12 on suspicion of
driving under the influence, after witnesses reported Stamos was
“behaving strangely and driving erratically.”
Officials at the time did not specify what substance was
involved. Stamos is currently the star of Fox TV sitcom “Grandfathered”
and is best known for his role in sitcom “Full House,” which ran from
1987 to 1995.
