"Sopranos" Chef Serves Up Plea Deal
Tony Soprano's chef is cooked.
John Ventimiglia, better known as troubled spaghetti-slinger Artie Bucco on HBO's Mob drama, pleaded guilty Monday to drunken driving stemming from his arrest in early May.
As part of his plea deal with the Brooklyn District Attorney, the Sopranos actor has had his license suspended for 90 days and was fined $500; in exchange, the city dropped a cocaine possession rap.
Ventimiglia was also ordered by Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge John Burke to enter into a detox program, enroll in a one-day course educating him on the dangers of drunken driving and visit no fewer than 30 local high schools to talk to students.
The small-screen player has until Sept. 25 to comply with the judge's orders or face the possibility of jail time.
The 42-year-old actor was pulled over at roughly 1 a.m. on May 1, just a block away from his Park Slope home, after police spotted his 2004 Volkswagen Jetta weaving into oncoming traffic with no headlights on.
According to the criminal complaint of the incident, officers pulled Ventimiglia over and claimed the actor had bloodshot eyes, reeked of alcohol and allegedly had a Ziploc bag filled with cocaine residue in his back pocket.
At the time of his arrest, Ventimiglia's blood-alcohol level topped off at 0.12 percent, considerably higher than New York state's 0.08 legal limit.
He was initially arraigned on a litany of charges, including driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, operating outside the lane, operating without headlights and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
The arrest is just one of the actor's off-screen dramas.
Ventimiglia, along with Sopranos costars Lorraine Bracco, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Robert Iler, Steven Van Zandt and Tony Sirico and Steven Schirripa, is currently without a contract for the series' final eight episodes, set to air in January.
The group has been in contract disputes with HBO since the last season was announced in 2005. Production on the last episodes is supposed to begin next month.
