"Desperate" Kid Kasch on Probation
He plays a troubled teen on ABC's Desperate Housewives, but in real life, Cody Kasch has one less issue to worry about.
A New York judge ruled Monday that a fifth-degree drug-possession charge against the 17-year-old will be dismissed from his record, provided Kasch can stay out of trouble for one year.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Evelyn Laporte ordered Kasch to report back to court on June 20, 2006, at which time the misdemeanor charge of possessing marijuana will be dropped as long as Kasch has managed to obey the law (or at least not gotten caught breaking it) in the meantime.
Kasch was arrested May 17 in Manhattan's East Village after plainclothes police officers allegedly spotted him puffing away outside of a bar with a group of friends.
The actor was given a ticket and released.
"He was with a group of kids and one of them was smoking pot, or was about to smoke a joint, when an undercover police officer arrested all of them. He's very upset about all this," his manager, Scott Bankston, explained to the New York Times at the time of Kasch's arrest.
Kasch's strange Desperate character, Zach Young, stepped up the intensity in the season finale of the nighttime soap, which was watched by an audience of more than 30 million.
As the show wrapped, viewers were left knowing that a gun-toting Zach waited inside the home of Mike the plumber (James Denton), apparently ready to execute him.
In typical cliffhanger fashion, fans of the show will have to wait for the second season to find out what happened next.
But for those who missed out on the first season of Desperate Housewives, the full season is slated for release on DVD on Sept. 20.
