On October 31, 2007, he was sentenced to 40 months (3 1/3 years) in jail following a guilty plea - entered in May 2007 - on charges of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent or higher and providing alcohol to a minor. Released from prison in April 2009 for good behavior. He has since enrolled himself into a rehabilitation center to kick his drug and alcohol habit.
