Former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach walked
away from court with a figurative slap on the wrist last week. Bach was
facing charges including assault, disorderly conduct, drug possession and
making terrorist threats that stemmed from an incident in March in a New
Jersey bar, where an altercation broke out between Bach and a bar tender,
when the bar tender tried to prevent Bach from taking his drink outside
while he had a smoke. That led to a fight between Bach and the bartender
and prompted Bach to threaten to come back with a gun and shoot the bartender
(see story).
Fortunately for Bach, the bar tender failed to show up in court to testify.
So the judge dismissed most of the charges and sentenced Bach to one year
of supervision for the drug possession charge.
The drug charges came after Bach was arrested
and officers found him in possession of five grams of marijuana and four
packets of rolling papers. Since the bartenders testimony was not needed
to prosecute Bach on the drug charges, the court upheld them. Bach requested
a conditional release, which is a alternative sentencing program in place
for first time drug offenders where they are offered the option of undergoing
a period of state supervision instead of going through standard criminal
procedures.
Under the conditions of his conditional
discharge, Bach was order to pay a fine of $860 and agree to undergo one
year of state supervision. If Bach completes his one-year of supervision
the related drug charges will be dropped.
According to press accounts, Bach, who
had a short-lived VH1 series Forever Wild, is said to be currently working
on a new studio album and DVD as well as contemplating taking a role in
a Los Angeles production of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
