David Cassidy will not be driving himself anywhere anytime soon.
Cassidy received his sentence in an upstate New York DUI case on Tuesday, receiving a $900 fine and fifty hours of community service. He also lost his licence for six months and was ordered to install a device on his car ignition that will not allow it to start if he is intoxicated. Cassidy waived his right to appeal in taking the plea deal.
The actor was arrested in August 2013 outside of Albany, NY at a DWI checkpoint, registering a blood alcohol level of .10. .08 is the legal limit.
Cassidy was arrested again for DWI in January 2014 after making an illegal turn in Los Angeles. This time, he blew a blood alcohol level of .19.
The two arrests started a year of trouble for Cassidy. One month after the Los Angeles arrest, he announced the he and his wife of 23 years were going through a divorce, triggering a stay in rehab. Even though he was facing jail time in his L.A. arrest, the judge gave him five years probation and ordered him to remain in rehab until he had completed the 90-day program.
