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 bartender�s 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�.
