Bauhaus’s Peter Murphy on probation following meth arrest
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 17 October 2013
Bauhaus man Peter Murphy has avoided jail time following his previously reported arrest in March on hit-and-run, DUI and drugs charges. He has instead been sentenced to three years probation, says the Glendale News Press, having appeared at the Los Angeles County Superior Court last week.
Whilst the DUI charge was dropped after Murphy reached a new plea deal with prosecutors, he eventually pled ‘no contest’ to the driving misdemeanour and guilty to possessing methamphetamine, a quantity of which was found in his car on his initial arrest.
Amongst the conditions of his probation, he’s obliged to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings for 45 days, and complete ten days of community service in LA. He must also submit to random drug tests.
