Rick Springfield - Rick Springfield Pleads No Contest To Reckless Driving Charge

Springfield has pleaded no contest to a revised charge of reckless driving and will serve probation to end a drunken driving case filed after his arrest last year, according to The Press Association. The rocker's attorney Philip Cohen was in court yesterday on behalf of the performer.

The initial incident took place way back in May 2011 after deputies spotted him speeding in his 1963 Corvette on Pacific Coast Highway. District attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison has said that Springfield will be on informal probation for three years and is required to attend a three-month alcohol education program. He's got relatively lightly really, Travis might not receive the same leniency after also threatening officers upon his arrest.
