Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil has plead guilty to DUI in Las Vegas, reports TMZ. It’s also very likely he will spend two weeks in jail.
Neil was pulled over by police in June. Officers found his blood alcohol level to be three times the legal limit. Neil’s plea deal includes 15 days in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, followed by 15 days of house arrest.
It will be interesting to see how he will do in jail.
The results of Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil’s sobriety tests from his DUI back in June have finally been released, and boy, it’s a doozy.
Perez Hilton has reported that Neil blew over three times the legal limit this spring, failing several field sobriety tests with multiple attempts. The 80s star put in a good effort but eventually told police “I can’t do this.”
Well, at least he’s an honest guy!
Aside from failing the traditional breathalyzer test, the report also comments that the rocker “reeked” of alcohol, and that Neil confessed to consuming 3 glasses of champagne.
Neil’s DUI doesn’t come as a surprise to us, especially with his criminal past. We caught a glimpse of the star’s Wild Side when he was caught Smoking in the Boy’s Room back in 1985.
Heh. But seriously: 3 TIMES the legal limit, Mr. Neil? That must have been some really strong champagne.
Vince Neil will be arraigned on September 27th. Hopefully he’ll have sobered up by then.
Don’t drink and drive, everyone!
