Motley Crue singer Vince Neil is to be sentenced to two weeks in jail for driving under the influence in Las Vegas. The 49-year old agreed to plead guilty before a judge on January 26. His jail sentence will begin on February 15. Neil will also be sentenced to two weeks of house arrest. Under Nevada DUI law, the minimum sentence was two days in jail.
Neil was stopped for speeding and weaving between lanes last June while driving his Lamborghini around 11:00 pm. He claimed to have consumed three glasses of champagne before his arrest. The police report indicated he swayed, had bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol and had slurred speech. Neil failed a field sobriety test and a breath test registered a blood alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit for intoxicated driving in Nevada.
Just days before his arrest for DUI in Nevada, he had declared he had stopped using drugs twenty years ago and did not drink to excess.
