Motley Crue’s Vince Neil Gets Jail For Drunk Driving

Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has been sentenced to two week’s jail for drunk driving.

Associated Press reports that the singer has taken a plea bargain and will serve two weeks in jail and two weeks of house arrest after being caught drunk driving his Lamborghini in Las Vegas in June last year.

His lawyer David Chesnoff said, “Mr. Neil recognized that he needed to take responsibility for his actions”.

He will begin serving his jail time on February 15.

This isn’t the first time Neil has served jail time for drinking and driving.

In 1984 he crashed a car in California, which resulted in injury to the two occupants of the car he hit and the death of his passenger, Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley, drummer for Finnish glam rock band Hanoi Rocks.

He pled guilty to drunken driving and manslaughter, serving 20 days in jail and agreed to pay $2.5 million in restitution to the victims.

Motley Crue’s 2003 and 2004 reissued box sets were titled Music To Crash Your Car To.
