George Michael Receives Jail Time for DUISeptember 15, 2010
George Michael was sentenced to eight weeks in jail and lost his license for five years Tuesday for driving under the influence of drugs when he crashed his Range Rover into a Snappy Snaps photo store in north London on July 4.
A British judge told the wayward star his addiction to marijuana put him and the public at risk.
The former Wham!singer pleaded guilty last month to driving under the influence and possession of cannabis.
District Judge John Perkins told the singer he had taken a "dangerous and unpredictable mix" of prescription drugs and marijuana.
Perkins said Michael would have to serve four weeks of the sentence in prison and the rest on parole.
