ROSES - ADLER COURT-ORDERED TO REHAB

ADLER COURT-ORDERED TO REHAB

Former GUNS N' ROSES drummer STEVEN ADLER has been court-ordered to a drug rehabilitation program to keep him out of prison.
A Los Angeles court commissioner agreed to place the musician in a state-sanctioned program on Friday (19Dec08).
The rocker pleaded no contest to a charge of heroin possession at Los Angeles Superior Court on 14 November (08) to escape a jail term.
He was arrested in July (08) after police were called to a disturbance at a Hollywood home - where they found Adler under the influence and in possession of drugs.
Adler checked in to rehab in Pasadena, California where he is signed to star in U.S. reality TV show Sober Living. The ruling came one day after American audiences watched him graduate from the drug-treatment program on air.
Adler will remain on probation while he tries to complete the state program.
