Lawyer: Steve-O's Been Sober for 85 Days
Tuesday June 3, 2008
 Charley Gallay/Getty Images Steve-O pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession on Tuesday in a Los Angeles courthouse. He was ordered to attend rehab for two years. The plea is part of a deal that will keep the Jackass star, 33, out of jail. "Steve is doing great - he has been sober for 85 days," his lawyer, Barry Gerald Sands, tells Usmagazine.com. "His probation is set for 18 months, but it may be shorter depending on his good behavior and continuation with the program he is in." Sands added that Steve-O "is currently living in a sober house and has straightened up.” Steve-O was arrested in March after feuding with a neighbor over a fence. Cops found drugs on him and booked him. He initially pleaded not guilty. After the arrest, he checked into a UCLA center for psychiatric treatment. In a blog post, Steve-O said his pal Johnny Knoxville "came to my home" and physically "forced me into the hospital." Tell Us: What are your well wishes for Steve-O?

I love Jackass and all their shows. I was alot like them when I was younger. I wish all of them only the best- they took alot of pain for us in the name of laughter. I only wish there was something now I could do to help Steve-O out. You can make it Steve-O, there are lots of people pulling for you.

Awesome! You go boy! 85 is hard to get through and it's so cool that he is living in a sober house. I wonder how he is going to still do his Jackass stuff and stay sober though. He should help Tatum.
