Hasselhoff Parked by DUI Plea
The Knight Rider's going to have to keep it in the garage the next few months.
David Hasselhoff entered a no-contest plea Thursday to a drunken-driving charge.
Hasselhoff, who did not appear in the Van Nuys, California, courtroom, was sentenced to three years of self-supervised probation, ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings two times a week for six months, hit with $490 in fines and restitution, and required to perform 200 hours of community service, said Jenaro Batiz-Romero, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.
Additionally, the driver's license of the former Knight Rider star was restricted. For the next 90 days, Hasselhoff can only get behind the wheel to drive himself to work, take his children to school and check out A.A. meetings, Batiz-Romero said.
Hasselhoff, 52, was arrested June 5 in a McDonald's parking lot in Los Angeles after police spotted his car motoring along in something less than Michael Knight's self-assured way.
After the incident, Hasselhoff, who rehabbed at the Betty Ford Center in 2002, spent some of his summer in the same posh Utah clinic where Mary-Kate Olsen sought treatment for an eating disorder.
Hasselhoff later deplaned for England where he starred in the musical Chicago on London's equivalent of Broadway.
The U.K. visit spurred a story that Hasselhoff, internationally renown for his Speedo-wearing wizardry on Baywatch, was "up for a part" in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The movie Website IGN FilmForce tracked down the report to the oft-inventive British tabloids. (Translation: Don't hold your breath on catching Hasselhoff duel with Dumbledore.)
Hasselhoff starred in Baywatch, which he also produced, from 1989 to 2001. He gunned the engine on the KITT car in Knight Rider from 1982 to '86.
