R&B singer Faith Evans pleaded no contest Monday to the lesser charge of reckless driving stemming from two misdemeanor DUI charges she received this summer. A Los Angeles court also sentenced her to 36 months of probation.
The Grammy Award-winning songstress was arrested last August at a checkpoint near Marina del Rey, California when police suspected that she might have been intoxicated. Evans was taken into custody and her vehicle was impounded. She was released the following morning on bail.
The former wife of legendary rapper Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace is no stranger to brushes with the law. Six years ago, Evans and her current husband Todd Russaw were arrested for drug possession. Investigators found cocaine and marijuana in the couple's vehicle after a routine traffic stop in Atlanta. Evans and her husband managed to escape jail time by opting to go into a pretrial drug abuse intervention program for 13 weeks.
Now, in addition to probation, Evans is ordered to pay $300 in penalties and complete a three-month alcohol program.

This explains the horrible job she did on the soul train awards, or she just cannot sing.

Wasn't she awful? Look like she gained her weight back? Faith has the nerve to star in that Movie about one of the Supremes next year? This woman is not stable and is drug addict and alcoholic! This woman is not a POSITIVE ROLE MODEL to play this part! This woman needs more than a 3 month alcohol program and $300 is NOT ENOUGH! They should have LOCKED HER AZZ IN JAIL!

SHE NEEDS HELP AND I HOPE SHE GETS IT. CELEBS ARE PULLING IN ALL THAT MONEY, ABLE TO ENJOY LIVES MOST NEVER WILL, AND ACTING FOOLISH GOING TO JAIL.
IT ISN'T THAT EXPENSIVE TO PAY TO HAVE YOUR CAR DRIVEN. WHATS WRONG WITH A CAB. IN CROWDED CITIES MANY FOLKS WITH MONEY DON'T DRIVE BECAUSE PARKING IS LIMITED AND TOO EXPENSIVE.
IT ISN'T FAIR TO KILL AN INNOCENT FAMILY BECAUSE SOMEONE GETS FALLING DOWN DRUNK, THEN INSISTS ON DRIVING....
DRUNK DRIVING MANSLAUGHTER SHOULD BE MOVED UP TO 2ND DEGREE MURDER, IN CALIFORNIA....BECAUSE DRUNK DRIVERS GET TOO MANY CHANCES TO GET HELP AND LOSE THEIR LICENSES BEFORE THEY EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.....
